[0020] In order to further explain the technical solution of the present utility model, it is described in detail through specific embodiments below.

[0021] See also Figure 1 The utility model provides a hard disk self-destruction device, including a hard disk body 1, a destruction key 2 and a storage device 3. The destruction key 2 is arranged in a groove at the front end of the hard disk body 1, and the hard disk body 1 is placed inside the storage device 3.

[0022] See also Figure 2-5 The storage device 3 in the utility model includes a storage bin 31, a connection seat 32, a limit frame 33, a docking slot 34, a first lock hole portion 35, a second lock hole portion 36 and a padlock 37. The hard disk body 1 is loaded inside the storage bin 31. The top of the storage bin 31 is riveted and rotatably mounted with the connection seat 32. The side of the connection seat 32 is slidably connected to the limit frame 33 by a slide rail. A docking slot 34 is opened at the front opening of the storage bin 31, and the limit frame 33 can be buckled into the docking slot 34. The hard disk body 1 is locked on the side so as to be limited and locked inside the storage bin 31 to prevent others from taking it out. A first locking hole portion 35 is installed on the top of the rear end of the limiting frame 33, and a second locking hole portion 36 is installed on the top surface of the hard disk body 1. The second locking hole portion 36 is located behind the connecting seat 32, and the second locking hole portion 36 can be docked with the first locking hole portion 35. The lock tongue of the padlock 37 passes through the first locking hole portion 35 and the second locking hole portion 36 to lock them together, so as to lock the position of the limiting frame 33.

[0023] To further explain, after the padlock 37 locks the first lock hole portion 35 and the second lock hole portion 36 together, the limit frame 33 will be tightly buckled on the inner side of the docking slot 34 to ensure that the limit frame 33 limits and locks the hard disk body 1 inside the storage compartment 31 to prevent others from taking it out.

[0024] To further explain, when the limiting frame 33 is buckled into the inner side of the docking slot 34 , the limiting frame 33 will completely cover the location of the destroy key 2 , preventing others from touching the destroy key 2 to execute the self-destruction operation of the hard disk body 1 .

[0025] To further illustrate, the flip angle range of the limit frame 33 is not less than 90 degrees, so that the limit frame 33 can at least flip to the side of the storage compartment 31 without blocking the front opening of the storage compartment 31 and affecting the loading and unloading operation of the hard disk body 1.

[0026] Further explanation: the padlock 37 is a password padlock, and the padlock 37 is unlocked by inputting a password through the numeric keys thereon, and the user does not need to carry a key for it, which is more convenient to use.

[0027] It is further explained that the storage bin 31 is made of flame-retardant materials as a whole, and flame-retardant nylon alloy can be used. Flame-retardant nylon alloy has excellent weather resistance, heat resistance, mechanical properties and electrical properties. By adding flame retardants, its flame retardant properties can be further improved. Since the hard disk body 1 self-destructs by short circuiting, there is a risk of open flame, and the storage bin 31 is made of flame-retardant materials as a whole to effectively reduce safety risks.

[0028] Here’s how it works:

[0029] First, the storage compartment 31 is fixed to the mounting position inside the computer case to ensure that the storage compartment 31 is installed firmly and does not shake, so that the storage compartment 31 can provide a good placement environment for the hard disk body 1.

[0030] Second, before installing the hard disk body 1, first remove the padlock 37 from the first lock hole portion 35 and the second lock hole portion 36, and then slide the limit frame 33 away from the connecting seat 32 to disengage the limit frame 33 from the inner side of the docking groove 34. Subsequently, flip the limit frame 33 with the connecting seat 32 as a fulcrum until the limit frame 33 is flipped and moved to the side of the storage bin 31. In this way, the limit frame 33 will not block the front opening of the storage bin 31, so that the subsequent installation work of the hard disk body 1 can be carried out.

[0031] Third, when installing the hard disk body 1, the hard disk body 1 can be directly inserted from the front opening of the storage compartment 31 to the inner side thereof. In order to ensure the safety of the hard disk body 1, it is necessary to further lock the hard disk body 1. The specific operation method is: flip the limit frame 33 and move it to the front of the storage compartment 31, and then slide the limit frame 33 close to the connecting seat 32 until the limit frame 33 is buckled into the inner side of the docking slot 34. During this process, the second lock hole portion 36 will dock with the first lock hole portion 35, and the user can use the padlock 37 to lock the first lock hole portion 35 and the second lock hole portion 36 together to fix the position of the limit frame 33. In this way, the limit frame 33 can limit and lock the hard disk body 1 inside the storage compartment 31 to prevent others from taking it out, and the limit frame 33 will completely cover the position of the destroy key 2 to prevent others from touching the destroy key 2 to perform the self-destruction operation of the hard disk body 1. Taking away the hard disk body 1 or performing the destruction operation needs to be performed under the premise of unlocking the padlock 37, which effectively prevents others from operating to improve the safety of the hard disk body 1.

[0032] Fourth, when the hard disk body 1 needs to be destroyed, the destroy key 2 needs to be pressed for at least 5 seconds, and the hard disk body 1 will burn the internal chip by short-circuiting and overloading, thereby achieving the purpose of self-destruction to prevent the hard disk files from being leaked.

[0033] The utility model provides a hard disk self-destruction device, which arranges a hard disk body 1 inside a storage device 3, flips and moves a limit frame 33 to the front of a storage bin 31, then snaps the limit frame 33 into the inside of a docking slot 34, and then uses a padlock 37 to lock the first lock hole portion 35 and the second lock hole portion 36 together, so that the position of the limit frame 33 is fixed, so that the limit frame 33 can limit and lock the hard disk body 1 inside the storage bin 31 to prevent others from taking it out, and the limit frame 33 will completely cover the position of the destruction key 2 to prevent others from touching the destruction key 2 to perform the self-destruction operation of the hard disk body 1, and taking away the hard disk body 1 or performing the destruction operation needs to be performed under the premise of unlocking the padlock 37, effectively preventing others from operating, so as to improve the safety of the hard disk body 1.

[0034] The above description is only a preferred example of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention is described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the above embodiments or replace some of the technical features therein by equivalents. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
