Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of data storage equipment, in particular to a data storage device with good anti-fall performance. Background Art

[0002] Data storage devices refer to various hardware devices used to store digital information. They record and maintain data through electromagnetic, optical or other means so that they can be retrieved, updated or transmitted when needed. Common data storage devices include but are not limited to mechanical hard disks (HDDs), solid-state drives (SSDs), USB flash drives, mobile hard disks, memory cards, tape drives, etc.

[0003] The existing problem is that when using a USB flash drive, if you use too much force when pulling it out, it is easy to cause the USB flash drive to fly away and fall. It is also likely to fall from a pocket while being carried. During the fall, the circuit board components may be damaged, resulting in instability or loss of important data. Even if the storage device can still read data normally on the surface after falling, there may be potential risks. For example, the circuit part may have hidden damage. Over time, these damages may gradually appear, resulting in performance degradation, shortened life or sudden data loss. Therefore, a data storage device with good drop resistance is needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model aims to provide a data storage device with good anti-fall performance, which has the advantage of good anti-fall performance and solves the problem in the prior art that the U disk is easily dropped and damaged when being pulled out or carried.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the utility model provides the following technical solution: a data storage device with good anti-fall performance, comprising a USB flash drive body, a protection mechanism is arranged on the USB flash drive body, and a buffer block is arranged at the bottom of the protection mechanism;

[0006] The protection mechanism includes a protection shell, a torsion spring and an end cover. The upper end surface and the lower end surface of the U disk body are provided with a rotating shaft. The protective shell is provided with an axial hole. The torsion spring is sleeved on the rotating shaft. The U disk body and the protection shell are elastically rotatably connected through the rotating shaft, the axial hole and the torsion spring. A limiting plate is provided on the side of the protective shell.

[0007] As a preferred data storage device with good drop resistance of the utility model, a positioning column is provided at the lower end of the end cover, a positioning hole is provided at the upper end surface of the protective shell, and the end cover and the protective shell are interference connected through the positioning hole and the positioning column.

[0008] As a preferred data storage device with good anti-fall performance of the utility model, an anti-collision sticker is arranged on the inner end surface of the protective shell close to the limiting plate end, and the anti-collision sticker is made of silicone material.

[0009] As a preferred data storage device with good drop resistance of the utility model, the buffer block is made of soft silicone.

[0010] As a preferred data storage device with good anti-fall performance of the utility model, a counterweight block is arranged in the buffer block, a wind resistance plate is arranged on the side of the U disk body away from the end of the counterweight block, and the counterweight block is made of iron block.

[0011] As a preferred data storage device with good drop resistance of the utility model, a buffer air cavity is arranged in the buffer block, and a side wall of the buffer air cavity is provided with an exhaust hole.

[0012] As a preferred data storage device with good drop resistance of the utility model, the protective shell is made of ABS engineering plastics.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows:

[0014] 1. The utility model provides an automatic rebound protection mechanism on the main body of the U disk, so that the protective cover can automatically close and sheath on the USB interface of the main body of the U disk under the action of a torsion spring. The automatic rebound mechanism can reduce the dust, dirt and other tiny particles that enter the interface due to the user forgetting to close the protective cover. When the U disk is unplugged, the protective cover can be automatically sheathed on the main body of the U disk immediately, thereby preventing the U disk or similar data storage device from falling when being unplugged, causing the USB interface to be damaged and deformed.

[0015] 2. The utility model arranges a buffer block on the protective cover, and the buffer air cavity can play the role of energy absorption and shock reduction during the closing or opening process of the protective cover. When the U disk falls, the protective cover rebounds quickly. Under the influence of the counterweight block, the end of the counterweight block touches the ground first, so that the counterweight block squeezes the buffer air cavity, and the buffer air cavity slowly releases air from the exhaust holes, thereby cooperating with the elastic force of the buffer block itself to form a damping elastic shock-absorbing structure, absorbing part of the impact force, thereby reducing the impact damage to the internal components of the U disk and increasing the service life of the U disk.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] See also Figure 1-Figure 4 A data storage device with good anti-fall performance comprises a USB flash drive body 1, a protection mechanism 2 is arranged on the USB flash drive body 1, and a buffer block 3 is arranged at the bottom of the protection mechanism 2;

[0022] The protection mechanism 2 includes a protection shell 210, a torsion spring 220 and an end cover 230. The upper and lower end surfaces of the U disk body 1 are provided with a rotating shaft 101. The protection shell 210 is provided with an axial hole 211. The torsion spring 220 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 101. The U disk body 1 and the protection shell 210 are elastically rotatably connected through the rotating shaft 101, the axial hole 211 and the torsion spring 220. A limiting plate 214 is provided on the side of the protection shell 210.

[0023] When the device is in use, when the U disk body 1 is removed from the computer, the protective shell 210 quickly moves toward the U disk body 1 under the action of the torsion spring 220 until it stops at the limit plate 214. Even if the U disk falls, the protective shell 210 can effectively protect the U disk body 1 to prevent the U disk body 1 from being broken and deformed due to direct contact with the ground. When the U disk falls, the protective shell 210 rebounds quickly. Under the influence of the counterweight block 301 and the wind resistance plate 102, the end of the counterweight block 301 touches the ground first, so that the counterweight block 301 squeezes the buffer air cavity 302, and the buffer air cavity 302 slowly deflates from the exhaust hole 303, thereby cooperating with the elastic force of the buffer block 3 itself to form a damping elastic shock-absorbing structure to absorb part of the impact force, thereby reducing the impact damage to the internal components of the U disk.

[0024] Furthermore, a positioning column 231 is provided at the lower end of the end cover 230 , and a positioning hole 212 is provided at the upper end surface of the protective shell 210 . The end cover 230 and the protective shell 210 are interference-connected through the positioning hole 212 and the positioning column 231 .

[0025] The dust cover prevents the torsion spring 220 from falling off, and the interference fit structure makes it easy to open the end cover 230 to adjust or replace the torsion spring 220 .

[0026] Furthermore, an anti-collision sticker 213 is provided on the inner end surface of the protective shell 210 close to the limiting plate 214 , and the anti-collision sticker 213 is made of silicone material.

[0027] The anti-collision sticker 213 reduces the impact between the USB flash drive body 1 and the protective shell 210 during the rotation of the USB flash drive body 1, thereby protecting the USB flash drive body 1.

[0028] Furthermore, the buffer block 3 is made of soft silicone.

[0029] The buffer block 3 reduces the impact on the protective shell 210 when it falls to the ground, thereby improving the protective effect.

[0030] Furthermore, a counterweight block 301 is disposed in the buffer block 3 , and a wind resistance plate 102 is disposed on the side of the USB flash drive body 1 away from the counterweight block 301 , and the counterweight block 301 is made of an iron block.

[0031] The weight of the buffer block 3 is increased by the counterweight block 301 , so that the counterweight block 301 will land first when the USB flash drive falls, thereby achieving precise protection.

[0032] Furthermore, a buffer air cavity 302 is provided in the buffer block 3 , and a side wall of the buffer air cavity 302 is provided with an exhaust hole 303 .

[0033] When the buffer block 3 touches the ground, the counterweight block 301 squeezes the buffer air cavity 302, and the buffer air cavity 302 slowly releases air from the exhaust holes 303, thereby cooperating with the elastic force of the buffer block 3 itself to form a damping elastic shock absorbing structure.

[0034] Furthermore, the protective shell 210 is made of ABS engineering plastics.

[0035] Its structure has high strength and certain elasticity, which can effectively improve its anti-fall performance. Its anti-aging performance is good and it can have a long service life.

[0036] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
