A rectangular docking slot 51 is provided at the edge of the bottom surface of the hard disk case 1. The base 52 is located directly below the hard disk case 1. A docking frame 53 is integrally provided at the edge of the top surface of the base 52, and the docking frame 53 is slidably inserted into the inner side of the docking slot 51, so that the hard disk case 1 and the base 52 are longitudinally slidably connected. A top column 54 is screwed in the center of the top surface of the base 52. The bottom surface of the hard disk slot 2 is provided with a There is a through slot 55, and the through slot 55 runs vertically through to the bottom of the hard disk box 1, and the top column 54 extends through the through slot 55 into the inner side of the hard disk slot 2. With the help of the top column 54, the hard disk in the hard disk slot 2 can be pushed upward, and the left and right side walls of the base 52 are hingedly installed with buckling parts 56. The lower end parts of the left and right side walls of the hard disk box 1 are provided with buckling grooves 57, wherein the buckling parts 56 can be flipped upward to the inner side of the buckling grooves 57 and buckled with each other. The buckling parts 56 play a positioning role to prevent the hard disk box 1 from being accidentally pressed down and causing the hard disk installed inside to be pushed out.

[0025] To further explain, a rubber pad is provided at the top of the top column 54. The rubber pad can not only increase the contact area between the top column 54 and the hard disk, but also play a role of flexible contact to prevent damage to the stress-bearing part of the hard disk.

[0026] To further explain, there are two groups of top posts 54 , and the two groups of top posts 54 are symmetrically distributed on the left and right parts of the hard disk slot 2 , so that the hard disk is evenly stressed and can be more easily ejected by the top posts 54 .

[0027] To further illustrate, the travel length of the top post 54 that can protrude into the inner side of the hard disk slot 2 is not less than 1 cm, ensuring that after the hard disk is lifted up by the top post 54 , its SATA interface can be completely separated from the SATA connector 3 .

[0028] To further explain, when the buckle member 56 and the buckle slot 57 are in the buckled state, the top column 54 will be completely retracted into the inner side of the through slot 55, ensuring that the top column 54 will not affect the normal assembly of the hard disk and the hard disk slot 2.

[0029] To further explain, the four sides of the top surface of the hard disk case 1 are all provided with pressing rubber pads 58, and the surface of the pressing rubber pads 58 is provided with anti-skid patterns, so that the hard disk case 1 is not easy to slip when pressed, and the pressing rubber pads 58 can also play a role of flexible contact, thereby improving the operating experience.

[0030] To further explain, a return spring 59 is sleeved on the outside of the top column 54, the bottom end of the return spring 59 is glued and fixed to the base 52, and the top end of the return spring 59 is in contact with the hard disk case 1. With the help of the elastic force of the return spring 59, the hard disk case 1 can be lifted upward to facilitate the fastening operation between the fastener 56 and the fastening groove 57.

[0031] Here’s how it works:

[0032] First, before installing the hard disk, the hard disk box 1 needs to be positioned first. The specific operation is as follows: a reset spring 59 is set on the outside of the top column 54. With the help of the elastic force of the reset spring 59, the hard disk box 1 can be lifted upward, so that the top column 54 is retracted into the inner side of the through groove 55, ensuring that the top column 54 will not affect the normal assembly of the hard disk and the hard disk slot 2, and then the buckle 56 is flipped upward to the inner side of the buckle groove 57 to engage with it. The buckle 56 can be fixed between the hard disk box 1 and the base 52 to prevent the hard disk box 1 from being accidentally pressed down and causing the hard disk installed inside to be ejected, and the positioning operation of the hard disk box 1 can be completed.

[0033] Second, when installing the hard disk, first place the base 52 on the desktop to provide a stable support for the hard disk box 1, and then insert the hard disk vertically into the hard disk slot 2. During this process, the SATA interface on the hard disk will be docked with the SATA connector 3, thereby establishing a data connection between the hard disk and the hard disk box 1. The user can establish a data connection with other devices through the USB interface 4, thereby realizing the read and write operations of the hard disk.

[0034] Third, when the user needs to remove the hard disk from the hard disk slot 2, if the SATA interface on the hard disk is tightly connected to the SATA connector 3, forcibly pulling out the hard disk may cause damage to the interface, resulting in data being unreadable. By setting an ejection device 5 at the bottom of the hard disk case 1, when using the ejection device 5, first, the buckle 56 on both sides of the base 52 is pushed away from the buckle groove 57 to release the fixing measures between the hard disk case 1 and the base 52. Since the hard disk case 1 and the base 52 are slidably connected through the docking groove 51 and the docking frame 53, the hard disk case 1 can be pressed downward to slide downward. During the downward movement of the hard disk case 1, the top column 54 will pass through the through groove 55 to the inside of the hard disk slot 2 and lift it up from both sides of the bottom of the hard disk, so that the SATA interface on the hard disk can be loosened and disengaged from the SATA connector 3, and the user can easily remove the hard disk from the inside of the hard disk slot 2 to avoid the situation where the interface is damaged due to forcible pulling out of the hard disk.

[0035] Fourthly, by setting pressing rubber pads 58 on the four sides of the top surface of the hard disk case 1, the hard disk case 1 is not easy to slip when pressed, and the pressing rubber pads 58 can also play a role of flexible contact, thereby improving the operating experience.

[0036] The utility model provides a hard disk ejecting device for an external computer hard disk. The ejecting device 5 is arranged at the bottom of the hard disk box 1. The fastening members 56 on both sides of the base 52 are pushed away from the fastening grooves 57 to release the fixing measures between the hard disk box 1 and the base 52. Since the hard disk box 1 and the base 52 are slidably connected via a docking groove 51 and a docking frame 53, the hard disk box 1 can be pressed downward to slide downward. During the downward movement of the hard disk box 1, the ejecting column 54 will pass through the through groove 55 to the inner side of the hard disk slot 2 and lift it up from both sides of the bottom of the hard disk, so that the SATA interface on the hard disk can be loosened and disengaged from the SATA connector 3, and the user can easily take the hard disk out from the inner side of the hard disk slot 2, avoiding the situation where the interface is damaged due to forcible pulling out of the hard disk.
