DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0030] Reference to "embodiments" herein means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in conjunction with the embodiments may be included in at least one embodiment of the present application. The appearance of the phrase in various locations in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It is explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.

[0031] The locking mechanism and hard disk installation device provided by the utility model are described in detail below in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0032] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 It is a structural schematic diagram of an embodiment of a hard disk installation device of the present application; Figure 2 yes Figure 1 A structural diagram of A is shown. The present application provides a locking mechanism 11. The locking mechanism 11 is used to be connected to the surface of the hard disk bracket 12. At least one locking mechanism 11 is detachably or fixedly connected to the surface of the hard disk bracket 12. At least one hard disk 13 is placed on the hard disk bracket 12. The number of locking mechanisms 11 and the number of hard disks 13 can be determined according to needs. Each hard disk 13 can be locked to the hard disk bracket 12 by several locking mechanisms 11. For example, the opposite ends of the hard disk 13 are respectively locked by at least one locking mechanism 11; or, the four sides of the hard disk 13 are respectively locked by at least one locking mechanism 11.

[0033] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 , Figure 3 This is a first structural schematic diagram of an embodiment of the locking mechanism of the present application; Figure 4 2 is a second structural diagram of an embodiment of the locking mechanism of the present application. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The locking mechanism 11 includes a locking portion 111, at least one telescopic assembly 112 and a first connecting portion 113. The locking portion 111 is formed with a locking cavity 1111. The locking cavity 1111 provides an installation position for the telescopic assembly 112. The number of telescopic assemblies 112 may be, but is not limited to, one, two, three or more than four. At least one telescopic assembly 112 is disposed in the locking cavity 1111. The telescopic rod 1121 of the telescopic assembly 112 can extend out of the locking portion 111, and at this time, the end of the telescopic rod 1121 is used to abut against the outer periphery of the hard disk 13. One end of the first connecting portion 113 is rotatably connected to one end of the locking portion 111. That is, one end of the first connecting portion 113 rotates a certain angle relative to one end of the locking portion 111. The other end of the first connecting portion 113 can be releasably locked to the other end of the locking portion 111. That is, the other end of the first connecting portion 113 is locked to the other end of the locking portion 111; or the other end of the first connecting portion 113 is unlocked from the other end of the locking portion 111.

[0034] The locking process of the locking mechanism 11 is as follows. When an external force acts downward on the first connection part 113, first, one end of the first connection part 113 rotates counterclockwise to a certain angle relative to one end of the locking part 111; then, the first connection part 113 acts on the telescopic rod 1121 in the telescopic assembly 112, and the telescopic rod 1121 extends out of the locking part 111 and abuts against the outer periphery of the hard disk 13; secondly, the other end of the first connection part 113 is locked to the other end of the locking part 111, so that the telescopic rod 1121 continuously abuts against the outer periphery of the hard disk 13, thereby causing the locking mechanism 11 to lock the outer periphery of the hard disk 13.

[0035] The unlocking process of the locking mechanism 11 is as follows: first, the locking connection between the other end of the first connection part 113 and the other end of the locking part 111 is released; then, one end of the first connection part 113 is rotated clockwise relative to one end of the locking part 111 by a certain angle; secondly, the first connection part 113 releases the force exerted on the telescopic rod 1121 in the telescopic assembly 112, and the telescopic rod 1121 in the telescopic assembly 112 is no longer in contact with the outer periphery of the hard disk 13, so that the locking mechanism 11 can quickly unlock the hard disk 13.

[0036] Therefore, through the mutual cooperation between the locking part 111, at least one telescopic component 112 and the first connecting part 113 in the above-mentioned locking mechanism 11, the locking mechanism 11 can quickly lock and unlock the hard disk 13, which not only improves the efficiency of quick installation and disassembly of the hard disk 13, but also does not require screw installation, etc., thereby improving the convenience of installation and disassembly of the hard disk 13, while being easy to operate and having a simple structure; at the same time, it improves maintenance efficiency, thereby reducing maintenance costs, etc.

[0037] See also Figure 5 and Figure 6 , Figure 5 It is a partial cross-sectional schematic diagram of an embodiment of the locking mechanism of the present application; Figure 6 This is a first partial schematic diagram of an embodiment of the locking mechanism of the present application. Figures 1 to 4 In some embodiments, the locking mechanism 11 includes a guide portion 1112. The guide portion 1112 is disposed in the locking cavity 1111 along the telescopic direction. The telescopic assembly 112 includes a sliding portion 1122. The sliding portion 1122 is sleeved on the guide portion 1112. The sliding portion 1122 is slidably connected to the guide portion 1112. The telescopic rod 1121 is disposed on a side of the sliding portion 1122 along the telescopic direction. The guide portion 1112 can not only limit the movement direction and movement path of the sliding portion 1122, and reduce the risk of movement deviation of the sliding portion 1122, so that the telescopic rod 1121 on the sliding portion 1122 can be more accurately extended out of the locking portion 111; it can also reduce the movement resistance of the sliding portion 1122, which is more conducive to the telescopic movement of the telescopic rod 1121 along the telescopic direction. The guide portion 1112 , the sliding portion 1122 and the telescopic rod 1121 cooperate with each other, so that the telescopic rod 1121 can be more accurately and stably extended out of the locking portion 111 , thereby improving the locking accuracy and stability of the hard disk 13 , thereby improving the installation and removal efficiency of the hard disk 13 .

[0038] The number of the guide parts 1112 can be one, two, or more than three. For example, in the present embodiment, the number of the guide parts 1112 is two. Both guide parts 1112 extend in the telescopic direction, and the two guide parts 1112 are arranged in parallel. The sliding parts 1122 are sleeved on the two guide parts 1112. One guide part 1112 passes through one end of the sliding part 1122, and the other guide part 1112 passes through the other end of the sliding part 1122. The two guide parts 1112 can improve the accuracy and stability of the movement of the sliding part 1122 in the telescopic direction, thereby improving the locking accuracy and stability of the hard disk 13, and further improving the installation and disassembly efficiency of the hard disk 13.

[0039] In some embodiments, the telescopic assembly 112 includes a first elastic member 1123. The first elastic member 1123 has a certain elastic force. The first elastic member 1123 is sleeved on the telescopic rod 1121. One end of the first elastic member 1123 is arranged on the sliding portion 1122. The other end of the first elastic member 1123 is arranged on the inner wall of the locking cavity 1111. By arranging the first elastic member 1123 on the telescopic rod 1121, the telescopic rod 1121 can be used to retract the locking portion 111. When the first connecting portion 113 acts on the telescopic assembly 112, the first elastic member 1123 is compressed. When the first connecting portion 113 releases the force on the telescopic assembly 112, the first elastic member 1123 retracts the telescopic rod 1121 into the locking portion 111 under the action of the restoring force, so that the telescopic rod 1121 is automatically retracted, and the telescopic rod 1121 does not need to be manually retracted, thereby improving the convenience of use of the locking mechanism 11. The above-mentioned first elastic member 1123 can be, but is not limited to, a spring.

[0040] The number of the telescopic components 112 can be multiple. As in the present embodiment, the locking mechanism 11 includes two telescopic components 112, and the two telescopic components 112 are symmetrically arranged. The two sliding parts 1122 are both sleeved on the guide part 1112. The locking part 111 includes a first side surface 111a and a second side surface 111b that are arranged opposite to each other. One telescopic rod 1121 can extend or retract into the first side surface 111a of the locking part 111, and the other telescopic rod 1121 can extend or retract into the second side surface 111b of the locking part 111. The locking and unlocking of at least two different hard disks 13 are achieved by the same locking mechanism 11.

[0041] See also Figure 7 , Figure 7 This is a second partial schematic diagram of an embodiment of the locking mechanism of the present application. Figures 1 to 6 In some embodiments, a pressing portion 1131 is provided on a side of the first connecting portion 113 facing the locking cavity 1111. The pressing portion 1131 is detachably or fixedly connected to the first connecting portion 113. As in the present embodiment, the pressing portion 1131 is integrally formed with the first connecting portion 113. The pressing portion 1131 moves with the movement of the first connecting portion 113. The pressing portion 1131 is releasably abutted against the telescopic component 112. When the first connecting portion 113 is acted upon downward by an external force, the pressing portion 1131 may abut against the telescopic component 112 or the sliding portion 1122 in the telescopic component 112, so that the telescopic rod 1121 extends out of the locking portion 111. When the force acting on the first connecting portion 113 is released, the pressing portion 1131 can release the abutment relationship with the telescopic component 112. By providing the pressing portion 1131 on the first connecting portion 113 , the sliding portion 1122 can move more labor-savingly and slide more easily, thereby improving the locking and unlocking efficiency of the locking mechanism 11 , and further improving the installation and removal efficiency of the hard disk 13 .

[0042] Specifically, the pressing portion 1131 is extended and arranged perpendicular to the telescopic direction. At this time, the pressing portion 1131 is more likely to act on the sliding portion 1122 of the telescopic assembly 112, so that the sliding portion 1122 is easier to move, thereby improving the locking efficiency of the locking mechanism 11. Further, the first inclined surface 11311 is inclinedly arranged on the side surface of the bottom of the pressing portion 1131, and the second inclined surface 11221 is inclinedly arranged on the top of the sliding portion 1122. The first inclined surface 11311 in the pressing portion 1131 and the second inclined surface 11221 of the sliding portion 1122 are inclinedly matched, so that the sliding portion 1122 moves more labor-saving and easier to slide, thereby improving the locking efficiency of the locking mechanism 11. Further, when there are two telescopic assemblies 112, the first inclined surface 11311 is inclinedly arranged on both sides of the bottom of the pressing portion 1131. The second inclined surface 11221 is inclinedly arranged on the top of the two sliding portions 1122. A pressing portion 1131 can act on two sliding portions 1122 at the same time, so that the two sliding portions 1122 move away from each other, thereby causing the two telescopic rods 1121 to extend away from the locking portion 111 , thereby achieving locking and unlocking of at least two hard disks 13 .

[0043] In some embodiments, one end of the first connection part 113 and one end of the locking part 111 are rotatably connected by a first rotating member 115, which not only allows one end of the first connection part 113 to rotate relative to one end of the locking part 111 at a certain angle, but also reduces the rotational friction between the first connection part 113 and the locking part 111. The first rotating member 115 is sleeved with a second elastic member 116. The second elastic member 116 has a certain elastic force. The first leg of the second elastic member 116 abuts against the first connection part 113. The second leg of the second elastic member 116 abuts against the locking part 111. When the other end of the first connection part 113 and the other end of the locking part 111 are unlocked, the first connection part 113 can automatically move upward clockwise under the joint action of the first rotating member 115 and the second elastic member 116, so that the first connection part 113 is automatically released from the abutment connection with the telescopic component 112, which not only improves the locking and unlocking efficiency of the locking mechanism 11, but also facilitates operation and has a simpler structure.

[0044] Specifically, the first rotating member 115 is a first rotating shaft. A first connecting hole 1132 is provided at one end of the first connecting portion 113. A second connecting hole is provided at one end of the locking portion 111. The first rotating shaft passes through the first connecting hole 1132 and the second connecting hole, so that one end of the first connecting portion 113 and one end of the locking portion 111 are rotatably connected. The second elastic member 116 can be, but is not limited to, a first torsion spring.

[0045] In some embodiments, there may be multiple ways of locking the other end of the first connection portion 113 and the other end of the locking portion 111. The locking methods may be, but are not limited to, snap-fitting and plugging. For example, in a specific embodiment, the other end of the first connection portion 113 and the other end of the locking portion 111 are snap-fitted. By connecting by snap-fitting, the locking of the first connection portion 113 and the locking portion 111 is simpler and easier to operate, thereby improving the locking and unlocking efficiency of the locking mechanism 11, and further improving the installation and disassembly efficiency of the hard disk 13. For example, the first connection portion 113 is provided with a first hook, and the outer periphery of the other end of the locking portion 111 is provided with a second hook, wherein the first hook and the second hook are snap-fitted.

[0046] In other embodiments, the locking mechanism 11 further includes a second connecting portion 114. The second connecting portion 114 is engaged with the locking portion 111. For example, the second connecting portion 114 is rotatably connected to the other end of the first connecting portion 113. The second connecting portion 114 rotates a certain angle relative to the other end of the first connecting portion 113. The second connecting portion 114 is engaged with the outer periphery of the other end of the locking portion 111 so that the second connecting portion 114 can be releasably locked to the outer periphery of the other end of the locking portion 111. By connecting the second connecting portion 114 between the first connecting portion 113 and the locking portion 111, compared with the first connecting portion 113 directly connected to the locking portion 111, the second connecting portion 114 in this embodiment plays a connecting role, making it easier for the first connecting portion 113 to engage the outer periphery of the other end of the locking portion 111 through the second connecting portion 114, and also easier for the second connecting portion 114 to unlock the engagement relationship with the locking portion 111, that is, not only the locking and unlocking efficiency of the locking mechanism 11 is improved, but also the convenience of the locking mechanism 11 is improved.

[0047] In some embodiments, the second connecting portion 114 is provided with a first clamping portion 1141. The first clamping portion 1141 is detachably or fixedly connected to the second connecting portion 114. As in the present embodiment, the first clamping portion 1141 is integrally formed with the second connecting portion 114. A second clamping portion 1113 is provided on the periphery of the locking portion 111. The second clamping portion 1113 is detachably or fixedly connected to the periphery of the locking portion 111. As in the present embodiment, the second clamping portion 1113 is integrally formed with the periphery of the locking portion 111. Among them, the first clamping portion 1141 and the second clamping portion 1113 are clamped. The first clamping portion 1141 and the second clamping portion 1113 are connected by clamping, which makes it easier to lock and unlock the locking mechanism 11, that is, not only the locking and unlocking efficiency of the locking mechanism 11 is improved, but also the convenience of the locking mechanism 11 is improved.

[0048] In some embodiments, the second connection part 114 and the other end of the first connection part 113 rotate through the second rotating member 117, which not only makes the second connection part 114 rotate a certain angle relative to the other end of the first connection part 113, but also reduces the rotational friction between the second connection part 114 and the other end of the first connection part 113. The second rotating member 117 is sleeved with a third elastic member 118. The third elastic member 118 has a certain elastic force. The third leg of the third elastic member 118 abuts against the other end of the first connection part 113. The fourth leg of the third elastic member 118 abuts against a side of the second connection part 114 facing the first connection part 113. When an external force acts on the second connection part 114 and the second connection part 114 and the other end of the locking part 111 are unlocked, the second connection part 114 can automatically restore to its original state under the joint action of the second rotating member 117 and the third elastic member 118, which not only improves the locking and unlocking efficiency of the locking mechanism 11, but also facilitates operation and has a simpler structure.

[0049] Specifically, the second rotating member 117 is a second rotating shaft. The other end of the first connecting portion 113 is provided with a third connecting hole. The second connecting portion 114 is provided with a fourth connecting hole. The second rotating shaft is provided with the third connecting hole and the fourth connecting hole to enable the other end of the first connecting portion 113 to be rotatably connected to the second connecting portion 114. The third elastic member 118 can be, but is not limited to, a second torsion spring.

The hard disk installation device 10 includes a hard disk bracket 12, at least one hard disk 13 and at least one locking mechanism 11.

[0051] The hard disk installation device 10 cooperates with the hard disk bracket 12, at least one hard disk 13 and at least one locking mechanism 11 to realize screw-free installation of the hard disk installation device 10, which not only improves the efficiency of quick installation and removal of the hard disk 13, but also improves the convenience of installation and removal of the hard disk 13 without screw installation, and is easy to operate and simple in structure; at the same time, it improves maintenance efficiency, thereby reducing maintenance costs, etc. It should be noted that the locking mechanism 11 in this embodiment is the locking mechanism 11 described in the above embodiment, which will not be repeated here.

Figures 1 to 7 In some other embodiments, a part of the hard disk 13 is locked by the locking mechanism 11, and another part of the hard disk 13 is limited by other mechanisms. For example, the hard disk bracket 12 is provided with a mounting portion 121. The mounting portion 121 is releasably abutted with the first end 13a and / or the second end 13b. For example, the mounting portion 121 can be releasably abutted with the first end 13a, or the mounting portion 121 can be releasably abutted with the second end 13b, or the mounting portion 121 can be releasably abutted with the first end 13a and the second end 13b at the same time. Among them, the locking mechanism 11 and the mounting portion 121 are arranged at the first end 13a and / or the second end 13b of the hard disk 13, and their specific positions are not limited. Through the cooperation between the locking mechanism 11 and the mounting portion 121, the hard disk mounting device 10 can be installed without screws, and the efficiency of installing and disassembling the hard disk 13 is improved.

[0055] In one embodiment, the hard disk bracket 12 has at least two mounting portions 121 disposed opposite to each other. A locking mechanism 11 is located between the two mounting portions 121. The locking mechanism 11 includes two telescopic components 112. Through the cooperation between the mounting portion 121 and the locking mechanism 11, not only can at least two hard disks 13 be installed and removed, but also the installation and removal efficiency of the hard disk installation device 10 is improved, and at the same time, the convenience of the hard disk installation device 10 is improved, thereby improving the user experience.

[0056] As in the present embodiment, the hard disk bracket 12 is provided with a first row of mounting parts, a second row of mounting parts and a third row of mounting parts. The second row of mounting parts is located between the first row of mounting parts and the third row of mounting parts. A first row of locking mechanisms are provided between the first row of mounting parts and the second row of mounting parts. A second row of locking mechanisms are provided between the second row of mounting parts and the third row of mounting parts. A second row of locking mechanisms are provided between the second row of mounting parts and the third row of mounting parts. Among them, two hard disks 13 are installed between the first row of mounting parts, the second row of mounting parts and the first row of locking mechanisms. Two hard disks 13 are installed between the second row of mounting parts, the third row of mounting parts and the second row of locking mechanisms. Of course, in other embodiments, the mounting part 121 and the locking mechanism 11 may also have other settings, which are not limited here.

[0057] In some embodiments, the first end 13a and the second end 13b of the hard disk 13 are both provided with positioning holes. A positioning portion 1211 is convexly provided on a side of the mounting portion 121 facing the hard disk 13. The positioning portion 1211 is snapped into the positioning hole.

The positioning hole and the positioning portion 1211 cooperate with each other so that the locking mechanism 11 can lock the outer periphery of the hard disk 13 more stably, thereby improving the installation stability of the hard disk 13. At the same time, before the locking mechanism 11 is locked, the positioning portion 1211 and the positioning hole on the mounting portion 121 first cooperate to play a certain rough positioning role, and then the locking mechanism 11 is locked, which makes it easier to install and disassemble the locking mechanism 11, thereby further improving the installation and disassembly efficiency of the locking mechanism 11, etc.

[0058] In other embodiments, the mounting portion 121 is provided with a positioning hole, the end of the telescopic rod 1121 is recessed to provide a positioning hole, the first end 13a and the second end 13b of the hard disk 13 are provided with a positioning portion 1211 protrudingly, and the positioning portion 1211 is engaged with the positioning hole. Alternatively, the mounting portion 121 is provided with a positioning hole, the first end 13a or the second end 13b of the hard disk 13 is provided with a positioning portion 1211 protrudingly, and the second end 13b or the first end 13a of the hard disk 13 is provided with a positioning hole, that is, the positioning hole of the mounting portion 121 is engaged with the positioning portion 1211 on the first end 13a of the hard disk 13, and the telescopic rod 1121 is engaged with the second hole on the second end 13b of the hard disk 13, etc. The above-mentioned positioning hole and the positioning portion 1211 may also have other settings, which are not limited here.

[0059] When the hard disk 13 is provided with a positioning hole, the positioning hole can be provided at the outer periphery of the hard disk 13. Alternatively, the hard disk 13 is sleeved in a hard disk 13 shell, and the positioning hole can be provided on the hard disk 13 shell.
