[0034] Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 8 , a tool-free disassembly and assembly of a hard disk tray module, comprising:
[0035] The tray 100 includes an end base 110, a first side plate 120 and a second side plate 130. The first side plate 120 and the second side plate 130 are arranged in parallel and spaced apart. The ends of the first side plate 120 and the second side plate 130 at the same end are connected to the end base 110. A hinge column 121 is provided at one end of the first side plate 120 away from the end base 110. A first buckle portion 131 is provided at one end of the second side plate 130 away from the end base 110.
[0036] The locking bolt 200 has a snap-fit hinge 210 at one end and a second snap-fit portion 220 at the other end. The snap-fit hinge 210 has a snap-fit port 211. The snap-fit hinge 210 is snap-fitted with the hinge column 121 through the snap-fit port 211 and then rotated to fit. The first snap-fit portion 131 and the second snap-fit portion 220 snap-fit.
[0037] A locking bolt 200 is provided at one end of the tray 100 away from the end seat 110. The locking bolt 200 is hinged to the hinge column 121 through a bayonet 211, which is not only easy to install, but also can be completely removed when necessary. The second buckle portion 220 on the locking bolt 200 is buckled with the first buckle portion 131, so that the hard disk 300 is enclosed in the tray 100, and the disassembly is convenient and simple.
[0038] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The end of the end seat 110 facing the lock bolt 200 is provided with a first positioning column 111, and the first positioning column 111 is arranged corresponding to the end surface screw hole 310 of the hard disk 300. The first positioning column 111 is arranged to correspond to the original end surface screw hole 310 of the hard disk 300, which can reduce the impact of transportation vibration and high-frequency vibration of the fan on the hard disk 300.
[0039] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The first side plate 120 and the second side plate 130 are oppositely provided with a second positioning column 122 at one end away from the end seat 110, and the second positioning column 122 is provided corresponding to the side screw hole 320 of the hard disk 300. The second positioning column 122 is provided corresponding to the original side screw hole 320 of the hard disk 300, so as to further restrict the hard disk 300 and provide anti-vibration performance.
[0040] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 The tray 100 further includes a bottom plate 140, one end of which is connected to the bottom of the first side plate 120, and the other end of which is connected to the bottom of the second side plate 130. The bottom plate 140 is provided to hold the hard disk 300, and to support the hard disk 300, and to facilitate taking out the hard disk 300 together with the tray 100.
[0041] Please refer to Figure 8 There is a first gap 141 between the bottom plate 140 and the end seat 110, and a second gap 142 between the bottom plate 140 and the lock bolt 200. The first gap 141 is provided to facilitate the installation of the hard disk 300, first aligning the head with the inclined first positioning column 111, and then inserting the tail into the tray 100. The second gap 142 is provided to facilitate the deformation of the tail of the first side plate 120 and the second side plate 130, so as to insert the second positioning column 122 into the side screw hole 320 of the hard disk 300.
[0042] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 6The bottom plate 140 is provided with a plurality of hollow holes 143. The hollow holes 143 can enhance the heat dissipation capability without affecting the strength of the bottom plate 140.
[0043] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 6 The tops of the first side plate 120 and the second side plate 130 are also provided with a plurality of limiting protrusions 123. The limiting protrusions 123 are provided to better limit the hard disk 300 in the tray 100. Preferably, the limiting protrusions 123 are provided at positions corresponding to the first interval 141 and / or the second interval 142 to facilitate the insertion of the hard disk 300.
[0044] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The lock bolt 200 is provided with an avoidance hole 230, and the avoidance hole 230 is arranged corresponding to the gold finger 330 of the hard disk 300. The avoidance hole 230 is arranged to facilitate the exposure of the gold finger 330 of the hard disk 300.
[0045] Please refer to Figure 5 When the first buckle portion 131 and the second buckle portion 220 are buckled together, the bayonet 211 faces away from the end seat 110 , so as to prevent the hard disk 300 from being vibrated and squeezed by the lock bolt 200 , so that the clamping hinge cylinder 210 of the lock bolt 200 is separated from the hinge column 121 through the bayonet 211 .
[0046] Please refer to Figure 7 The first buckle portion 131 and the hinge column 121 extend inward in opposite directions to form a blocking portion 150. The blocking portion 150 can limit the hard disk 300 in the tray 100. Even if the first positioning column 111 and the second positioning column 122 are broken, the hard disk 300 will not be separated from the tray 100, and the hard disk 300 can be easily taken out of the tray 100 as a whole.
[0047] In particular, please refer to Figure 8 One end of the lock bolt 200 has an anti-fool portion 132, which can be an anti-fool protrusion or an anti-fool groove to prevent the tray 100 from being installed upside down. Preferably, the anti-fool portion 132 is arranged at the end where the second buckle portion 220 is located.
[0048] In particular, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 6 The lock bolt 200 is provided with anti-collision inclined grooves 133 on the upper and lower end surfaces of the end where the second buckle portion 220 is located and the upper and lower end surfaces of the end of the second side plate 130 away from the end seat 110. It effectively protects the hard disk 300 gold finger 330 from being damaged by the hard disk 300 backplane connector, the hard disk 300 backplane connector from being damaged by the hard disk 300 gold finger 330, or the hard disk 300 gold finger 330 from damaging the high electronic components of the hard disk 300 backplane.
[0049] In particular, the first buckle portion 131 includes a clamping plate 1311 and a hook block 1312 disposed on the clamping plate 1311. The hook block 1312 can be disposed away from the second side plate 130 or facing the second side plate 130 as required. Figure 5 and Figure 8 The clamping plate 1311 extends in a direction away from the end seat 110 and has a hand buckle 1313 that exceeds the hook block 1312. The second buckle portion 220 includes a through hole 221 for the clamping plate 1311 and the hook block 1312 to extend into, and a clamping slot 222 that communicates with the through hole 221. The hook block 1312 is engaged with the clamping slot 222, and the hand buckle 1313 extends from the through hole 221. When it is necessary to open, the hand buckle 1313 is pulled to disengage the hook block 1312 from the clamping slot 222.
[0050] In particular, please refer to Figure 4 The bottom of the lock bolt 200 also has a reinforcing rib 240, and the reinforcing rib 240 extends in the direction of the end seat 110. The reinforcing rib 240 can not only improve the strength of the lock bolt 200, but also support the hard disk 300.
[0051] In particular, a gasket is sleeved on the hinge column 121, and the end surface of the hinge cylinder abuts against the gasket, so as to reduce the vibration effect and the assembly accuracy.
[0052] It is understandable that the tray 100 is usually made by an integrated molding process, and its material is generally plastic, metal or alloy, which has a certain elasticity, and can facilitate the insertion of the hard disk 300. The locking bolt 200 can be made of the same material.
[0053] The utility model can be applicable to hard disks of specifications and models such as E3.S1, E3.S1T 1C, E3.S1T 2X1C, E3.S1T 2C, E3.S1T 4C, E3.S1T 4C+, E3.S2T, E3.S2T 1C, E3.S2T 2X1C, E3.S2T 2C, E3.S2T 4C, and E3.S2T 4C+.
