Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of memories, in particular to a memory protection structure. Background Art

[0002] Memories are divided into internal memories and external memories. The USB flash drive memory is an external memory and a portable storage device using a USB interface. The rotating USB flash drive memory, also often referred to as a rotating USB flash drive or a flip USB flash drive, in which the USB connector can be exposed or hidden by rotation. Because of its convenience and fashionability, it is loved by many users. However, the sealing performance of the rotating USB flash drive memory is usually poor, and it is more difficult to achieve a good waterproof effect. Therefore, a memory protection structure is proposed here to solve the waterproof problem of the rotating USB flash drive memory. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a memory protection structure for the problems existing in the prior art.

[0004] To achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is:

[0005] A memory protection structure, which includes:

[0006] A memory housing, which has a main control chip inside and a USB interface connected to the main control chip is installed at one end outside.

[0007] A protection structure, which includes a protective cover and a positioning component. The protective cover slides on the surface of the memory housing along the length direction of the memory housing, and the protective cover rotates relative to the memory housing. A sealing cover is provided on the protective cover. When the protective cover slides to the final state, the USB interface is inserted and corresponding to the sealing cover.

[0008] When the protective cover rotates to be parallel to the memory housing, the protective cover can slide along its length direction. On this basis, a sealing cover is further arranged inside the protective cover. By sliding the protective cover towards the USB interface side, the sealing cover can be docked with the USB interface, and the USB interface can be sealed by the sealing cover to make it not communicate with the outside, so as to improve the sealing performance of the memory and achieve a good waterproof effect.

[0009] In some embodiments, chutes are provided at both the top and bottom of the memory housing. Through grooves are opened inside the chutes relative to the outside, and the width of the through grooves is smaller than the width of the chutes. The front view of the protective cover is in a "C" shape. Connecting rods are symmetrically arranged on the inner wall of the protective cover. The other ends of the connecting rods penetrate through the through grooves and are connected with sliders. The sliders are slidably connected inside the chutes along the length direction of the chutes.

[0010] Since the width of the through groove is smaller than the width of the chute and the diameter of the slider is larger than the width of the through groove, the slider can move inside the chute without falling out of the chute.

[0011] In some embodiments, the shape and structure of the sealing cover match the USB interface; a rubber frame is glued to the other end of the sealing cover, and a limiting frame is integrally formed on the inner side of the protective cover, and the sealing cover is glued and fixed in the limiting frame.

[0012] When the slider slides to the front end of the slide groove, a gap is left between the sealing cover and the USB interface, which is convenient for the protective cover to rotate on the storage housing. After the sealing cover rotates to a certain angle, the USB interface is not restricted and the USB interface can be used normally. When the slider slides to the rear end of the slide groove, the sealing cover is plugged into and corresponds to the USB interface to protect it and further improve the waterproof performance.

[0013] In some embodiments, the positioning assembly includes a positioning frame, and the positioning frame is fixedly connected to the rear portion of the storage housing;

[0014] When the protective cover slides to the final position, the open end of the protective cover abuts against the open end of the positioning frame; the top and bottom of the open end of the protective cover are both embedded and fixed with a first magnetic block, and the open end of the positioning frame is embedded with a second magnetic block at a position relative to the first magnetic block; the opposing surfaces of the first magnetic block and the second magnetic block are of opposite poles.

[0015] Since the opposing surfaces of the first magnetic block and the second magnetic block are of opposite poles, following the principle of "opposite magnetic poles attract each other", when the protective cover abuts against the positioning frame, the attractive force generated by the first magnetic block and the second magnetic block can dock and fix the protective cover with the positioning frame, thereby achieving the purpose of limiting the protective cover without the need for additional fasteners, making the adjustment process simple and quick.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0017] 1. Since the protective cover slides on the surface of the storage shell along the length direction, and the protective cover rotates relative to the storage shell, when the protective cover rotates to be parallel to the storage shell, it can slide along the length direction. On this basis, a sealing cover is provided inside the protective cover. By sliding the protective cover toward the side of the USB interface, the sealing cover can be docked with the USB interface, and the USB interface can be sealed by the sealing cover to prevent it from being connected to the outside, thereby improving the sealing of the storage and achieving a good waterproof effect.

[0018] 2. When the slider slides to the front end of the slide slot, a gap is left between the sealing cover and the USB interface, which facilitates the rotation of the protective cover on the storage housing. After the sealing cover rotates to a certain angle, the USB interface is not restricted and the USB interface can be used normally. When the slider slides to the rear end of the slide slot, the sealing cover is plugged into and corresponds to the USB interface to protect it and further improve the waterproof performance.

[0019] 3. Since the opposite surfaces of the first magnetic block and the second magnetic block are of opposite poles, following the principle of "opposite magnetic poles attract each other", when the protective cover abuts against the positioning frame, the attractive force generated by the first magnetic block and the second magnetic block can make the protective cover and the positioning frame docked and fixed, thereby achieving the purpose of limiting the protective cover, without the need for additional fasteners, making the adjustment process simple and quick.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The following will be combined with the drawings in the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solution of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only 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.

[0028] like Figure 1-6 As shown, the utility model provides a memory protection structure, which includes:

[0029] The storage housing 1 has a main control chip 2 inside and a USB interface 3 connected to the main control chip 2 installed at one end of the outside;

[0030] A protective structure, which includes a protective cover 4 and a positioning component. The protective cover 4 slides on the surface of the memory housing 1 along the length direction of the memory housing 1, and the protective cover 4 rotates relative to the memory housing 1. A sealing cover 5 is arranged on the protective cover 4. When the protective cover 4 slides to the final state, the USB interface 3 is inserted and corresponding to the sealing cover 5.

[0031] The memory housing 1, the protective cover 4 and the unit component are all made of metal materials, such as stainless steel, zinc alloy, aluminum alloy, etc. The metal material rotating USB flash drive has better durability and compressive resistance. The metal shell helps with heat dissipation and often has good waterproof and dustproof performance.

[0032] In this embodiment, since the protective cover 4 slides on the surface of the memory housing 1 along the length direction of the memory housing 1, and the protective cover 4 rotates relative to the memory housing 1, therefore, when the protective cover 4 rotates to be parallel to the memory housing 1, it can slide along its length direction. On this basis, by further arranging the sealing cover 5 inside the protective cover 4, the protective cover 4 can be slid towards the USB interface 3 side, so that the sealing cover 5 is docked with the USB interface 3, and the USB interface 3 is sealed by the sealing cover 5 to make it not communicate with the outside, so as to improve the sealing performance of the memory and achieve a good waterproof effect.

[0033] In some embodiments, chutes 6 are arranged at both the top and bottom of the memory housing 1. A through groove 61 is arranged inside the chute 6 and is open to the outside. The width of the through groove 61 is smaller than the width of the chute 6; the front view of the protective cover 4 is in a "匚" shape. Link rods 71 are symmetrically arranged on the inner wall of the protective cover 4. The other ends of the link rods 71 penetrate through the through groove 61 and are connected with sliders 7. The sliders 7 are slidably connected inside the chute 6 along the length direction of the chute 6;

[0034] Preferably, the slider 7 is disc-shaped, and the diameter of the slider 7 is larger than the width of the through groove 61. The disc-shaped slider 7 can make its rotation inside the chute 6 smoother. Since its diameter is larger than the diameter of the through groove 61, it is not easy to come out during the moving and sliding processes.

[0035] Since the width of the through groove 61 is smaller than the width of the chute 6 and the diameter of the slider 7 is larger than the width of the through groove 61, the slider 7 can move inside the chute 6 without coming out of the chute 6.

[0036] In some embodiments, the shape and structure of the sealing cover 5 fit the USB interface 3; a rubber frame 51 is glued to the other end of the sealing cover 5. A limiting frame 52 is integrally formed on the inner side of the protective cover 4, and the sealing cover 5 is glued and fixed inside the limiting frame 52.

[0037] When the slider 7 slides to the front end of the slide groove 6, a gap is left between the sealing cover 5 and the USB interface 3, which is convenient for the protective cover 4 to rotate on the storage housing 1. After the sealing cover 5 rotates to a certain angle, it does not restrict the USB interface 3, and the USB interface 3 can be used normally. When the slider 7 slides to the rear end of the slide groove 6, the sealing cover 5 and the USB interface 3 are plugged in and correspond to each other. The setting of the rubber frame 51 can enhance the confidentiality of the connection between the sealing cover 5 and the USB interface 3 and further improve the waterproof performance.

[0038] In some embodiments, the positioning assembly includes a positioning frame 8, and the positioning frame 8 is fixedly connected to the rear of the storage housing 1;

[0039] When the protective cover 4 slides to the final position, the open end of the protective cover 4 abuts against the open end of the positioning frame 8; the top and bottom of the open end of the protective cover 4 are both embedded and fixed with the first magnetic block 41, and the open end of the positioning frame 8 is embedded with the second magnetic block 81 at a position relative to the first magnetic block 41; the opposing surfaces of the first magnetic block 41 and the second magnetic block 81 are of opposite poles.

[0040] In this embodiment, the contour connection points of the front side of the positioning frame 8 are rectangular. In other embodiments, the contour connection points of the front side of the positioning frame 8 may also be a right-angled trapezoid. The contour connection points of the protective cover 4 are correspondingly set to a right-angled trapezoid that matches it, and the positions of the slide groove 6 and the through groove 61 are adjusted accordingly.

[0041] Since the opposite surfaces of the first magnetic block 41 and the second magnetic block 81 are opposite poles, following the principle of "opposite poles attract each other", the first magnetic block 41 and the second magnetic block 81 will attract each other. Therefore, when the protective cover 4 abuts against the positioning frame 8, the attractive force generated by the first magnetic block and the second magnetic block can make the protective cover 4 docked and fixed with the positioning frame 8, thereby achieving the purpose of limiting the protective cover 4. The magnetic limiter uses magnetic force to automatically align and fix, without the need for additional fasteners, making the adjustment process simple and quick. For a structure such as the protective cover 4 that needs to be moved frequently, the magnetic limiter can also effectively reduce damage to the structure itself.

[0042] The steps of using this specific implementation method are:

[0043] When in use, first, push the protective cover 4 to the side away from the positioning part. During this process, the connecting rod 71 drives the slider 7 to slide from the tail end of the slide groove 6 to the head end of the slide groove 6, and the sealing cover 5 moves outward, and the USB interface 3 is disengaged from the sealing cover 5 until a certain gap is left between the sealing cover 5 and the USB interface 3. Then, along the length direction of the storage shell 1, rotate the protective cover 4 to either side to expose the USB interface 3, and then the storage can be used. After use, rotate the protective cover 4 so that it is parallel to the storage shell 1, and then push the protective cover 4 to the side of the positioning frame 8 until the protective cover 4 abuts against the positioning frame 8, and the sealing cover 5 is plugged and fixed to the USB interface 3.
