[0029] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other. Now, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, a preferred embodiment of the present utility model is described in detail.
[0030] The present utility model embodiment provides a cloud storage device, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the cloud storage device includes a housing 1, a first hard disk and a mounting frame 2. The mounting frame 2 is mounted in the housing 1, and a hard disk insertion space 21 is formed in the mounting frame 2. The first hard disk is detachably inserted in the hard disk insertion space 21. The mounting frame 2 includes a first side panel 22. A memory expansion slot 221 is provided on the inner side of the first side panel 22. The memory expansion slot 221 is used to install a second hard disk 4 for expanding the memory.
[0031] The cloud storage device of the utility model is provided with a mounting frame 2, which includes a first side plate 22. The inner side of the first side plate 22 is provided with a memory expansion slot 221, which can be used to install a second hard disk 4 for expanding memory, so that the cloud storage device can increase storage space when the storage space of its own, original first hard disk is insufficient. That is, the cloud storage device of the utility model expands memory when the original memory space is insufficient, without adding a new cloud storage device, thereby reducing user use costs and having high use flexibility.
[0032] When the user needs to increase the cloud storage space, the user takes out the first hard disk from the hard disk insertion space 21 and installs the second hard disk 4 into the preset memory expansion slot 221 on the inner side of the first side plate 22 .
[0033] It is also important that the utility model sets the memory expansion slot 221 for installing expanded memory on the inner side of the first side panel 22 of the installation frame 2. After the first hard disk is taken out, the second hard disk 4 can be installed through the hard disk insertion space 21 without the need to additionally set an openable cover or other structure at the shell 1 corresponding to the memory expansion slot 221. The detachable scene of the first hard disk itself is utilized to realize the convenient disassembly and assembly of the second hard disk 4. At the same time, the memory expansion slot 221 is set on the inner side of the first side panel 22, which can make full use of the side space of the installation frame 2 and the cloud storage device, improve space utilization, and is not easy to interfere with the first hard disk, thereby ensuring their respective installation and stable use.
[0034] The first hard disk is the original storage hard disk that comes with the cloud storage device, which can be a mechanical hard disk. The second hard disk 4 is used as an extended memory, which can be a solid-state drive (SSD). Of course, the cloud storage device of the present utility model can also install a second hard disk 4 on the memory expansion slot when the original memory is not full. This depends entirely on the actual use needs of the user, and the technical solution of the present utility model has no restrictions. The hard disk insertion space 21 can be a space for two first hard disks to be inserted, or a space for three first hard disks to be inserted, or a space for four first hard disks to be inserted, or a space for six first hard disks to be inserted, or a space for eight first hard disks to be inserted. The specific amount of space provided for the first hard disk insertion depends on the design and requirements of the cloud storage device, and the present utility model does not make specific restrictions here. The first hard disk is inserted into the hard disk insertion space 21 through the hard disk bracket 9.
[0035] Specifically, the cloud storage device also includes a second hard disk circuit board 3; the second hard disk circuit board 3 is vertically mounted on the outer side of the first side plate 22 or mounted in the housing 1 and located on one side of the outer side of the first side plate 22; a hard disk insertion position 31 is provided on the second hard disk circuit board 3. An insertion port 222 is provided on the first side plate 22 corresponding to the hard disk insertion position 31, the insertion port 222 is connected to the memory expansion slot 221, and the hard disk insertion position 31 is docked at the insertion port 222. In this solution, the second hard disk 4 circuit is provided on one side of the outer side of the first side plate 22, and a hard disk insertion position 31 is provided on the second hard disk circuit board 3, and the insertion port 222 is provided at the same time, so as to realize the insertion of the second hard disk 4, and the connection terminal of the second hard disk 4 is inserted in the hard disk insertion position 31. The hard disk insertion position 31 can select a conventional solid state hard disk (SSD) insertion position, such as a SATA interface, an M.2 slot or a PCIe slot, etc., which will not be described in detail here. At this time, the second hard disk 4 is a solid state hard disk (SSD). The second hard disk circuit board 3 is arranged on one side of the outer side of the first side panel 22, which can make full use of the side space of the cloud storage device, improve space utilization, and facilitate the installation of the second hard disk 4 to the memory expansion slot 221. The setting of the insertion port 222 allows one end of the connection terminal of the second hard disk 4 to be installed on the hard disk insertion position 31. Specifically, the second hard disk circuit board 3 can be installed on the outer side of the first side panel 22 by means of screws and other fixings. More specifically, the first hard disk circuit board 8 can be installed at the rear end of the mounting frame 2, and the first hard disk circuit board 8 is provided with a connection interface 81 to realize connection with the first hard disk. The connection interface 81 can be, for example, a SATA (Serial ATA) interface, which will not be described in detail here.
[0036] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the cloud storage device also includes a fan 5, which is installed in the shell 1 and located at the rear end of the mounting frame 2. The inner side surface of the first side panel 22 is provided with an air guide groove 223 connected to the insertion port 222, and the air guide groove 223 is located on the side of the insertion port 222 close to the fan 5, and the memory expansion slot 221 is located on the side of the insertion port 222 away from the fan 5. The fan 5 is a component for heat dissipation, and further adding an air guide groove 223 can especially improve the heat dissipation of the second hard disk 4. Furthermore, an air guide port 223a is provided at one end of the air guide groove 223 away from the insertion port 222, which further improves the heat brought by the fan 5 to the memory expansion slot 221 and the air guide groove 223, and improves the heat dissipation of the second hard disk 4. Ventilation holes 223b are provided in the air guide groove 223, which can enhance the air circulation inside and outside the first side panel 22. The second hard disk circuit board 3 can be arranged corresponding to the air guide groove 223 , and the heat dissipation of the second hard disk 4 circuit can be improved through the ventilation holes 223 b on the air guide groove 223 .
[0037] Specifically, the memory expansion slot 221 and the air guide groove 223 are formed by the first side plate 22 being recessed toward the outside, and the structure is simple and has high structural strength. The memory expansion slot 221 and the air guide groove 223 can be formed by necessary cutting and stamping during the production process of the first side plate 22, and will not be described in detail here. The memory expansion slot 221, the insertion port 222 and the air guide groove 223 are provided in two groups on the upper and lower inner side surface of the first side plate 22, and the second hard disk circuit board 3 is provided with two hard disk insertion positions 31 corresponding to the two insertion ports 222, further improving the memory expansion capability of the cloud storage device.
[0038] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, a hard disk fixing component 6 is provided at one end of the memory expansion slot 221 away from the insertion port 222, and the hard disk fixing component 6 is used to detachably fix one end of the second hard disk 4 away from the hard disk insertion position 31. The hard disk fixing component 6 can cooperate with the hard disk insertion position 31 at the other end of the second hard disk 4 to achieve a secure installation of the second hard disk 4. When installing, first insert one end of the second hard disk 4 with the connection terminal into the hard disk insertion position 31, and then fix the other end through the hard disk fixing component 6. When disassembling the second hard disk 4, release the fixation of the hard disk fixing component 6, and remove the second hard disk 4 from the memory expansion slot 221.
[0039] Specifically, the hard disk fixing assembly 6 includes a mounting member 61 and a flip pressing member 62. The mounting member 61 is mounted on the first side plate 22, and the flip pressing member 62 is rotatably mounted on the mounting member 61 and can be unlocked and locked on the mounting member 61. The mounting member 61 implements the installation and fixation of the hard disk fixing assembly 6, while the flip pressing member 62 implements the compression and fixation of the end of the second hard disk 4.
[0040] The mounting member 61 is provided with an elastic telescopic column 63, which is located in the second hard disk 4 fixing area on the mounting member 61. The telescopic column 63 can press the second hard disk 4 to ensure that the second hard disk 4 can be more firmly installed in the memory expansion slot, and is not easy to shake, thereby ensuring the stable connection of the second hard disk 4. The telescopic column 63 has two mounting arms 631 arranged opposite to each other, and a mounting cavity 632 is limited between the two mounting arms 631, and an elastic member 64 is installed in the mounting cavity 632. Fig. 9As shown, the mounting member 61 is provided with a first through hole 611, and the first through hole 611 is divided into two oppositely arranged mounting holes 611a by a separation rib 611b, and two mounting arms 631 can be movably inserted and limited in the two mounting holes 611a. The two mounting arms 631 not only serve as mounting components of the telescopic column 63, but also limit the mounting cavity 632 to realize the installation of the elastic member 64, killing two birds with one stone. The elastic member 64 can be a spring. Due to the elastic force of the elastic member 64, the telescopic column 63 will be lifted by the elastic member 64, thereby pressing the second hard disk 4. When the flip pressing member 62 is locked on the mounting member 61, the telescopic column 63 under the pressure of the flip pressing member 62 shrinks, and the elastic member 64 is further compressed and stored at this time, ensuring that the second hard disk 4 is pressed tightly without damaging the second hard disk 4. Specifically, the elastic member 64 presses against the separation rib 611b.
[0041] In the width direction of the mounting member 61, the mounting member 61 is provided with two oppositely arranged snap holes 612, and the flip pressing member 62 is provided with two snap parts 621 corresponding to the two snap holes 612, and the snap parts 621 can be unlocked and snapped in the snap holes 612. The flip pressing member 62 is fixed on the mounting member 61 by snapping the snap holes 612 and the snap parts 621, and the flip pressing member 62 can be flipped open when the second hard disk 4 is disassembled.
[0042] Furthermore, if Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the cloud storage device also includes a main control circuit board 7, and the main control circuit board 7 is installed below the mounting frame 2; a plug-in port 71 is provided on the main control circuit board 7, and the second hard disk circuit board 3 is plugged into the plug-in port 71, and the plug-in port 71 can be a circuit board socket. The main control circuit board 7 serves as the main control board of the cloud storage device. It is installed below the mounting frame 2 to make full use of the bottom space of the cloud storage device and improve space utilization. And because the second hard disk circuit board 3 is vertically installed on the outer side surface of the first side panel 22, the main control circuit board 7 is arranged below the mounting frame 2 to facilitate assembly with the second hard disk circuit board 3. As shown Figure 6 As shown, a first hard disk circuit board 8 can be installed at the rear end of the mounting frame 2, and a connection interface 81 is provided on the first hard disk circuit board 8 to achieve connection with the first hard disk. The connection interface 81 can be, for example, a SATA (SerialATA) interface, which will not be described in detail here. The first hard disk circuit board 8 can also be plugged into the main control circuit board 7 through a corresponding plug port provided on the main control circuit board 7.
[0043] It should be understood that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present utility model rather than to limit it.
