DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments 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.

[0027] See also Figures 1 to 5 The utility model proposes a technical solution, a hard disk bracket, 1. comprising: two side frame plates 1, and the upper ends of the two side frame plates 1 are penetrated with lifting slots, a hard disk clamp 2 is installed between the opposite surfaces of the two side frame plates 1, and a heat dissipation component 3 for discharging air to dissipate heat for the hard disk is also installed between the opposite surfaces of the two side frame plates 1;

[0028] The hard disk clamp 2 includes a mesh support plate 21 welded between the side frame plates 1 on both sides, and convex strips 23 are welded on both sides of the upper surface of the mesh support plate 21. L-shaped plates 24 are movably installed on the opposite surfaces of the convex strips 23 on both sides through guide rails, and a clamping body 25 for clamping and fixing the hard disk is installed between the L-shaped plates 24 on both sides. When installing and disassembling the hard disk, the bearing mesh plate 251 is pulled forward to the front side to separate the blocking bar 252 from the magnetic adsorption between the magnet block 22, which will pull the clamping body 25 outward and expose the bearing mesh plate 251 to the outside. At this time, the bearing mesh plate 251 is not blocked by objects, and the large operating space makes it easy to install or disassemble the hard disk on the bearing mesh plate 251. After the installation and disassembly is completed, it can be retreated backward.

[0029] The clamping body 25 includes a bearing mesh plate 251, and baffles 252 are welded on the front and rear sides of the top of the bearing mesh plate 251. Slots A253 and slots B254 are provided on both sides of the opposite surfaces of the two baffles 252, and the slot A253 is located at a position toward the middle. A fixed side bar 256 is clamped between one side of the opposite surfaces of the two baffles 252, and a side bar assembly 257 is clamped between the other sides of the opposite surfaces of the two baffles 252. The clamping block 2578 is interference-fitted inside the slot A253 or the slot B254, which makes it convenient to install the fixed side bar 256 or the side bar assembly 257 inside the slot A253 or the slot B254 accordingly. When the clamping block 2578 is clamped inside the slot A253 or the slot B254, the fixed side bar 256 and the side bar assembly 257 are clamped between the two baffles 252, and the installation process is very convenient.

[0030] The side bar assembly 257 includes a fixed bar 2571, and a plurality of U-shaped spring pieces 2574 are slidably installed on one side of the fixed bar 2571. A movable clamping bar 2577 is fixedly connected between one side of the plurality of U-shaped spring pieces 2574. Blocks 2578 are welded to the front and rear end surfaces of the fixed bar 2571 and the fixed side bar 256. The side bar assembly 257 is interference fit with the card slot A253 and the card slot B254, so that the hard disk is clamped between the movable clamping bar 2577 and the fixed side bar 256 for fixation. The hard disk is installed in an elastic clamping manner, which facilitates quick assembly and disassembly of the hard disk.

[0031] When the installed hard disk is a 2.5-inch small hard disk in the hard disk clamp, the fixed side bar 256 and the side bar assembly 257 are both fixed in the card slot A253, and the distance between the fixed side bar 256 and the side bar assembly 257 is suitable for clamping and fixing the 2.5-inch small hard disk in the hard disk clamp. If the installed hard disk is a 3.5-inch large hard disk of the heat dissipation component, the fixed side bar 256 and the side bar assembly 257 are both fixed in the card slot B254, and the distance between the fixed side bar 256 and the side bar assembly 257 is enlarged, which is suitable for clamping and fixing the 3.5-inch large hard disk of the heat dissipation component. This hard disk bracket is suitable for the 3.5-inch large hard disk of the heat dissipation component and the 2.5-inch small hard disk of the hard disk clamp. There is no need to design two sets of hard disk brackets. One bracket is compatible with two hard disk sizes, and the bracket has high compatibility.

[0032] The four corners of the supporting mesh plate 251 are welded with connecting blocks 255, and a threaded hole is opened through the top of the connecting block 255. The front and rear sides of the top of the lateral end of the L-shaped plate 24 are both provided with threaded holes, and fixing bolts are threadedly installed between the threaded holes on the connecting block 255 and the threaded holes on the L-shaped plate 24.

[0033] Two slide grooves 2572 are formed on one side of the fixing bar 2571 , and two sliders 2573 that slide inside the slide grooves 2572 are installed at two corner ends of the U-shaped spring piece 2574 .

[0034] A positioning tube 2575 is welded on one side of the fixed strip 2571 and between the two U-shaped spring pieces 2574. A telescopic rod 2576 is slidably mounted on the positioning tube 2575, and one end of the telescopic rod 2576 away from the fixed strip 2571 is welded to the movable clamping strip 2577. The telescopic rod 2576 performs a limited sliding function inside the positioning tube 2575, so that the movable clamping strip 2577 can only move linearly when it is movable.

[0035] Magnet blocks 22 are installed on both sides of the rear end of the top of the mesh bracket plate 21. The baffle 252 is made of iron material, and the magnet block 22 is magnetically attracted to the baffle 252. The baffle 252 and the magnet block 22 are in contact with each other and magnetically attracted to fix the clamping body 25 above the mesh bracket plate 21 to avoid the hard disk being in an active state during use, thereby ensuring the stability of the hard disk during use.

[0036] The heat dissipation assembly 3 includes a heat dissipation box A31 welded between the bottoms of the opposite surfaces of the side frame plates 1 on both sides, and three heat dissipation boxes B32 welded between the side frame plates 1 on both sides, and the heat dissipation box B32 is located between two adjacent hard disk clamps 2, and the top of the heat dissipation box A31 and the bottom and bottom of the heat dissipation box B32 are penetrated with air outlets 33, and an air supply pipe 34 is fixedly connected between the air inlet of the heat dissipation box A31 and the heat dissipation box B32 at the rear side. The air supply pipe 34 is externally connected to the air outlet of the fan, and the fan continuously transports air to the inside of the heat dissipation box A31 and the heat dissipation box B32, and the air is blown under the hard disk through the air outlet 33, thereby accelerating the speed of heat dissipation of the hard disk itself, and can make the hard disk itself temperature stable during use, thereby ensuring the stability of the hard disk during use.

[0037] The working principle of the utility model is:

[0038] When in use, the process of installing the hard disk is as follows:

[0039] One side of the hard disk is pressed against the movable clamping bar 2577, and the movable clamping bar 2577 is pushed toward the fixed bar 2571 through the hard disk, so that the movable clamping bar 2577 squeezes the U-shaped spring piece 2574, thereby expanding the distance between the movable clamping bar 2577 and the fixed side bar 256;

[0040] When the distance between the movable clamping bar 2577 and the fixed side bar 256 is larger than the size of the hard disk, the hard disk is placed flat between the movable clamping bar 2577 and the fixed side bar 256, and the bottom of the hard disk is in contact with the top of the supporting mesh plate 251;

[0041] At this time, the force applied to the hard disk is released, and the movable clamping bar 2577 is reset under the elastic restoring action of the U-shaped spring piece 2574, so that the hard disk is clamped between the movable clamping bar 2577 and the fixed side bar 256 for fixation. Similarly, the hard disk can also be disassembled;

[0042] The air inlet of the air supply pipe 34 is connected to the outlet of the fan. The fan continuously delivers air to the inside of the heat dissipation box A31 and the heat dissipation box B32. The air is blown under the hard disk through the air outlet 33, thereby accelerating the speed of heat dissipation of the hard disk itself.

[0043] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art may still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
