[0002] With the explosive growth of data information, the role played by desktop computers as immovable storage entities in storage scenarios has gradually been replaced by external storage devices. At present, consumers have an increasing and diversified demand for external storage devices, which has led to two problems. On the one hand, the way to view the space of external storage devices is not convenient enough. On the other hand, the internal structure of external storage devices is fragile and can easily lead to data loss. For example, abnormal vibrations can cause internal damage and the entire device cannot work properly.

[0003] Therefore, the industry needs to develop an external storage device to solve the above problems. On the one hand, it makes it more convenient to view the space of the storage device, and on the other hand, it reduces the risk of falling, that is, reduces the occurrence of data loss due to the fragility of the internal structure of the device.

[0007] A further technical solution is that the spatial visualization storage device also includes a first communication interface, the first communication interface is arranged on the device housing, and the first communication interface is connected to the communication line unit.

[0008] A further technical solution is that an attaching device is provided on the device housing of the spatial visualization storage device.

[0009] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present utility model further proposes a host system, wherein the host system comprises the spatial visualization storage device as described in the first aspect.

[0010] A further technical solution is that the host system also includes a desktop computer, which is placed vertically relative to a horizontal plane, with the top of the desktop computer located below the bottom of the desktop computer, and the bottom of the desktop computer is parallel to the horizontal plane.

[0011] Its further technical solution is that a second communication interface is provided on one side near the top of the desktop computer, and the spatial visualization storage device is connected to the desktop computer via a communication line, one end of the communication line is connected to the first communication interface, and the other end of the communication line is connected to the second communication interface, and the sum of the length of the communication line and the length of the spatial visualization storage device is less than the distance between the second communication interface and the bottom of the desktop computer.

[0015] In the prior art, the space of an external storage device needs to be connected to a desktop or laptop computer before it can be viewed. This process consumes a lot of time and is not convenient for users. In addition, the inventors have found that when the existing external storage device is carried by the user, the user only brings one communication cable, and the communication cable is often too short and can only be placed on the top of the desktop. If the user touches the communication cable connected to the desktop, the communication cable will cause the storage device to slide on the desktop and fall from the top. The present application solves the above problems. On the one hand, it makes the viewing method of the storage device space more convenient, and on the other hand, it reduces the risk of falling, that is, reduces the occurrence of data loss due to the fragility of the internal structure of the device.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] 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. Similar component numbers in the drawings represent similar components. Obviously, the embodiments to be described below 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 making creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0026] It should be understood that the terms used in the utility model embodiment description are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the utility model embodiment. As used in the utility model embodiment description and the appended claims, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular forms "a", "an" and "the" are intended to include plural forms.

[0027] Example

[0028] See also Figure 1-Figure 6 , a spatial visualization storage device 1 proposed in an embodiment of the utility model includes: a hard disk device 10, a device control unit 20, an interface conversion unit 30, a communication unit 40, a device power supply unit 50, and a space indication unit 60; the hard disk device 10 is connected to the interface conversion unit 30, and the hard disk device 10 is connected to the device power supply unit 50; the device control unit 20 is connected to the interface conversion unit 30, and the device control unit 20 is connected to the space indication unit 60; the interface conversion unit 30 is connected to the communication unit 40, the communication unit 40 is connected to the device power supply unit 50, and the device power supply unit 50 is connected to the space indication unit 60.

[0029] In the above scheme, the device control unit 20 can be a single-chip microcomputer, or include a single-chip microcomputer, and the interface conversion unit 30 can receive information transmitted from the terminal device or desktop computer from the serial line unit 40, and store the information in the hard disk device 10. Its working principle is that the device control unit 20 queries the remaining space of the hard disk device 10 under the conversion of the interface conversion unit 30, and the hard disk device 10 transmits the information of the remaining space to the device control unit 20, and then the device control unit 20 controls the space indication unit 60 to display the information or status of the remaining space. The technical effect of the above-mentioned space visualization storage device is that on the one hand, it makes the viewing method of the space of the storage device more convenient, and on the other hand, it reduces the risk of falling, that is, reduces the occurrence of data loss due to the fragility of the internal structure of the device.

[0030] Furthermore, the spatial visualization storage device 1 further includes a device housing 70 and a display device 80, wherein the display device 80 is disposed on the device housing 70 and connected to the spatial indication unit 60. Furthermore, the spatial visualization storage device 1 further includes a first communication interface 91, wherein the first communication interface 91 is disposed on the device housing 70 and connected to the communication unit 40. In one embodiment, the first communication interface 91 is disposed on a side of the device housing 70 with a smaller area, and the specific location is shown in FIG. Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 .

[0031] Furthermore, the device housing 70 of the spatial visualization storage device 1 is provided with an attachment device 71. Furthermore, the attachment device 71 of the spatial visualization storage device 1 is a silica gel nano-sticker. Figure 2 , the attaching device 71 and the display device 80 are arranged on the same side. Figure 3 The attaching device 71 and the display device 80 are not arranged on the same side, and the attaching device 71 is arranged on the back of the display device 80. The technical effect is that the silicone nano-sticker can further enhance the stability of the spatial visualization storage device 1, and even if the user accidentally touches the desktop with his feet or other parts, or the desktop falls over, the internal data of the spatial visualization storage device 1 will not be damaged.

[0032] Furthermore, the present invention also provides a host system, see Figure 4-Figure 6 , the host system includes the spatial visualization storage device 1 as described in any of the above embodiments.

[0033] Furthermore, the host system also includes a desktop 2, which is placed vertically relative to a horizontal plane, the top of the desktop 2 is located below the bottom of the desktop 2, and the bottom of the desktop 2 is parallel to the horizontal plane; a second communication interface 92 is provided on the side of the desktop 2 near the top, the space visualization storage device 1 and the desktop 2 are connected via a communication line 90, one end of the communication line 90 is connected to the first communication interface 91, and the other end of the communication line 90 is connected to the second communication interface 92, and the sum of the length of the communication line 90 and the length of the space visualization storage device 1 is less than the distance between the second communication interface 92 and the bottom of the desktop 2; an upper groove 21 is provided on the top of the desktop 2, the upper groove 21 accommodates the space visualization storage device 1, the attachment device 71 is connected to the bottom surface of the upper groove 21, and the length of the communication line 90 is greater than the distance between the second communication interface 92 and the upper groove 21 of the desktop 2. Among them, after the user has used the desktop computer 2 and the external storage device, the user can place the external storage device, that is, the space visualization storage device 1, in the upper groove 21 of the desktop computer 2 for a long time. On the one hand, even if the desktop computer 2 is powered off, the user can observe the space usage of the external storage device. On the other hand, the user does not need to disassemble the space visualization storage device 1 to avoid the risk of falling during the disassembly process.

[0034] In the above solution, the desktop 2 can be a hexahedron, the top of the desktop 2 is rectangular, and the bottom of the desktop 2 is also rectangular. The bottom of the desktop 2 is placed on a table or on the floor, and the placement method is that the long side is perpendicular to the horizontal plane. The specific placement method is known to those skilled in the art.

[0035] In the above scheme, the sum of the length of the communication line 90 and the length of the space visualization storage device 1 is less than the distance between the second communication interface 92 and the bottom of the desktop 2, that is, the length of the communication line 90 is not enough to allow the space visualization storage device 1 to be placed on a table or on the floor. The length of the communication line 90 is greater than the distance between the second communication interface 92 and the upper groove 21 of the desktop 2, that is, the length of the communication line 90 is sufficient to support the space visualization storage device 1 to go around the top of the desktop 2 and be placed in the upper groove 21, and the upper groove 21 accommodates the space visualization storage device 1 to avoid the risk of falling. The distance between the second communication interface 92 and the upper groove 21 of the desktop 2 is specifically the distance along the outer shell surface of the space visualization storage device 1, rather than the straight-line distance between the second communication interface 92 and the desktop 2.

[0036] Furthermore, the depth of the upper groove 21 of the desktop 2 is greater than or equal to the height of the spatial visualization storage device 1. The technical effect is that the depth of the upper groove 21 covers the highest point of the spatial visualization storage device 1, which is sufficient to limit the range of movement of the spatial visualization storage device 1.

[0037] Furthermore, the desktop 2 is used to connect to a fixing device 3, and the fixing device 3 is fixedly arranged relative to the wall 31, and the distance between the back of the desktop 2 and the wall 31 is less than or equal to five centimeters. In particular, when the distance between the back of the desktop 2 and the wall 31 is too small, due to insufficient angle and insufficient space, the user cannot reach between the back of the desktop 2 and the wall 31 and plug the communication line 90 on the back of the desktop 2. Therefore, the user uses the second communication interface 92 on the front of the desktop 2 to connect the communication line 90, and winds the communication line 90 toward the top of the desktop 2, and finally fixes the spatial visualization storage device 1 in the upper groove 21. In this way, even if it cannot be connected from the back of the desktop 2, the spatial visualization storage device 1 can still be placed firmly to avoid the risk of falling.

[0038] In summary, in the prior art, the space of an external storage device needs to be connected to a desktop or laptop computer before it can be viewed. This process consumes a lot of time and is not convenient for users. In addition, the inventors have found that when the existing external storage device is carried by the user, the user only brings one communication cable, and the communication cable is often too short and can only be placed on the top of the desktop. If the user touches the communication cable connected to the desktop, the communication cable will cause the storage device to slide on the desktop and fall from the top. The present application solves the above problems. On the one hand, it makes the way to view the space of the storage device more convenient, and on the other hand, it reduces the risk of falling, that is, reduces the occurrence of data loss due to the fragility of the internal structure of the device.
