[0002] Storage devices are an important part of computer systems and have developed rapidly in recent years. Disks and tapes have always been the main storage devices for computers. Disks are divided into hard disks and floppy disks. The access speed of hard disks is much faster than that of floppy disks. The capacity of hard disks used in microcomputers has reached tens of GB, and the capacity of hard disks in workstations has exceeded hundreds of GB. The storage technology of optical disks has been commercialized in recent years, and its storage capacity is generally 650MB. Another type of rewritable optical disk with great application prospects has also been put on the market, which can access data with higher data density.

[0003] Although existing computer storage devices can install multiple hard disks for expanded storage, the installation slots are fixed, which can only hold hard disks of the same model and size. Due to the fixedness of the installation slots, users cannot mix and use hard disks of different models or capacities according to actual needs, which limits the user's ability to flexibly configure according to specific application scenarios, which may lead to waste or insufficient storage space in some cases.

[0020] 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 of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments 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 creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0021] See also Figure 1-3 , the utility model provides a technical solution:

[0022] Embodiment 1:

[0023] See also Figure 1 and Figure 3 An expandable computer storage device includes a device box 1 and a mounting plate 3. A mounting assembly 2 is arranged on the mounting plate 3. The mounting assembly 2 includes a connecting rod 201. A T-shaped block 202 is fixedly installed on one end of the connecting rod 201. A return spring 205 is fixedly installed on one side of the T-shaped block 202. The T-shaped block 202 is rotatably connected to two connecting rods 203. One end of the connecting rod 203 away from the T-shaped block 202 is connected to a plug plate 204. The end of the connecting rod 203 away from the T-shaped block 202 is rotatably connected to the plug plate 204.

[0024] The user pushes the connecting rod 201 in the direction of the T-shaped block 202, and the T-shaped block 202 shifts horizontally. The T-shaped block 202 drives the connecting rod 203 to rotate, and the angle between the connecting rod 203 and the T-shaped block 202 becomes smaller. The T-shaped block 202 is pulled toward the middle of the mounting plate 3 through the connecting rod 203, so that the plug-in plate 204 is free from the restriction of the limit slot 11. Hard disks of different models and capacities have different sizes. The user can install the hard disk on the mounting plate 3 and then adjust the distance between multiple mounting plates 3 according to its thickness. The installation is more adaptable. While being able to expand the number of hard disk installations, it can also prevent the distance between the hard boards from being too close, affecting heat dissipation.

[0025] Meanwhile, the user can appropriately increase or reduce the number of mounting plates 3 according to the number of hard disks to be installed.

[0026] See also Figure 3 Two mounting blocks 4 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the mounting plate 3, two support rods 5 are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the mounting block 4, the plug plate 204 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the support rod 5, a fixed block is fixedly installed at the bottom of the mounting plate 3, and a return spring 205 is fixedly installed between the T-shaped block 202 and the fixed block.

[0027] The mounting block 4 is a support for the support rod 5, which increases the stability of the support rod 5. The support rod 5 can provide support and guidance for the plug board 204, so that the movement direction of the plug board 204 remains unchanged during the sliding process, and the operation is more stable, so that the plug board 204 can be better docked into the limit groove 11.

[0028] See also Figure 3 A U-shaped support plate 6 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the mounting plate 3, a T-shaped block 202 is slidably connected to the U-shaped support plate 6, and a limiting block is fixedly installed at one end of the connecting rod 201 away from the T-shaped block 202.

[0029] The U-shaped support plate 6 guides and limits the T-shaped block 202, and prevents the T-shaped block 202 from unnecessary movement and deflection when performing linear motion. The main function of the U-shaped support plate 6 is to limit the direction of motion. The limit is to prevent the connecting rod 201 from passing through the fixed block when the connecting rod 201 is pushed.

[0030] See also Figure 2 The inner wall of the equipment box 1 is provided with a limit groove 11 adapted to the plug plate 204, two fixing plates 12 are fixedly installed on the top of the mounting plate 3, two telescopic springs 13 are fixedly installed on one side of the fixing plate 12, and a clamping plate 14 is fixedly installed on the end of the telescopic spring 13 away from the fixing plate 12.

[0031] When installing a hard disk, the user can push the clamping plates 14 outwards and then place the hard disk between the two clamping plates 14. After the two clamping plates 14 are loosened, the elastic force of the telescopic spring 13 can better clamp the hard disk according to the size of the hard disk.

[0032] Embodiment 2:

[0033] See also Figure 2 A screw rod 8 is rotatably connected inside the mounting plate 3, a handle 7 is fixedly mounted on one end of the screw rod 8, and a slide plate 9 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the screw rod 8.

[0034] The user can also drive the screw rod 8 to rotate through the handle 7 according to the cross-sectional area of ​​the hard disk, so that the slide plate 9 is shifted on the outer wall of the screw rod 8, thereby expanding the supporting surface of the mounting plate 3, which can better support larger hard disks, thereby making the device box 1 more expandable.

[0035] See also Figure 2 Two guide rods 10 are fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the mounting plate 3 , and the slide plate 9 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the guide rods 10 .

[0036] Due to the function of the guide rod 10 , the slide plate 9 can move along the guide rod 10 more accurately, which is more important for controlling the moving distance of the inserting plate 204 .

[0037] Working principle: the user pushes the connecting rod 201 toward the T-shaped block 202, and the T-shaped block 202 shifts horizontally. The T-shaped block 202 drives the connecting rod 203 to rotate, and the angle between the connecting rod 203 and the T-shaped block 202 becomes smaller. The T-shaped block 202 is pulled toward the middle of the mounting plate 3 through the connecting rod 203, so that the plug-in plate 204 is free from the restriction of the limit slot 11. Hard disks of different models and capacities have different sizes. The user can install the hard disk on the mounting plate 3 and then adjust the distance between multiple mounting plates 3 according to its thickness. The installation is more adaptable. While being able to expand the number of hard disk installations, it can also prevent the distance between the hard boards from being too close, affecting heat dissipation.

[0038] Meanwhile, the user can appropriately increase or reduce the number of mounting plates 3 according to the number of hard disks to be installed.

[0039] The user can also drive the screw rod 8 to rotate through the handle 7 according to the cross-sectional area of ​​the hard disk, so that the slide plate 9 is shifted on the outer wall of the screw rod 8, thereby expanding the supporting surface of the mounting plate 3, which can better support larger hard disks, thereby making the device box 1 more expandable.
