Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of hard disks, in particular to a hot-plug switching device for switching multiple hard disks. Background Art

[0002] When different hard disks need to be read, hot-swap technology can be used to replace different hard disks. The technology used can be used to directly insert or remove the hard disk without turning off the system power. Hot-swap technology improves the flexibility, reliability and operation and maintenance efficiency of the system. It is an indispensable function in application scenarios that require continuous operation, high data throughput or high availability. Multiple hard disk switching hot-swap technology usually requires hardware such as hard disks, motherboards, chassis and brackets, and then manually replaces the hard disk and re-reads the new hard disk to perform hot-swap operations for hard disk switching. This method is more cumbersome and is not conducive to frequent switching.

[0003] In view of the above problems, a multiple hard disk hot-swap switching device is developed. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the disadvantages that the hot-swap technology for switching multiple hard disks usually requires the use of hardware such as hard disks, motherboards, chassis and brackets, and then manually replacing the hard disks and re-reading the new hard disks to perform the hot-swap operation of hard disk switching. This method is relatively cumbersome and not conducive to frequent switching. The utility model provides a hot-swap switching device for switching multiple hard disks.

[0005] The technical solution of the utility model is as follows: a hot-swap switching device for switching multiple hard disks, comprising a sliding mounting block, a placement box being slidably connected to the sliding mounting block, three hard disks being placed inside the placement box, sliding members being slidably connected to the front and rear sides of the placement box, the sliding members and the sliding mounting block being slidably connected, left-right symmetrical springs being connected between the sliding members and the sliding mounting block, three fixed blocks being connected to the front side of the upper portion of the placement box, rotating members being rotatably connected to the fixed blocks, and left-right symmetrical torsion springs being connected between the fixed blocks and the adjacent rotating members.

[0006] In one embodiment, guide grooves are provided on both the front and rear sides of the lower portion of the placement box.

[0007] In one embodiment, both the front and rear sides of the placement box are connected with power-assisting blocks.

[0008] In one of the embodiments, the lower portion of the sliding mounting block is a hollow structure.

[0009] In one embodiment, a support plate is further included, and the front side of the placement box is connected to the support plate which is symmetrical with respect to the left and right.

[0010] In one of the embodiments, it further includes rotating wheels, and the upper front side and the bottom of the support plate are both rotatably connected to two of the rotating wheels.

[0011] By adopting the above technical scheme, the beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: the utility model is connected to the mainboard through the sliding mounting block, and the placement box is lifted upward, so that the hard disk interface is disengaged from the card connection with the interface on the sliding mounting block, and the placement box is slid left and right to the lower part of the hard disk that needs to be read, and the placement box is reset downward and reinserted with the sliding mounting block. This method can make the hot-swap operation of multiple hard disks more convenient, thereby meeting the reading and switching requirements of different hard disks. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0012] Figure 1 It is a three-dimensional structural schematic diagram of the utility model.

[0013] Figure 2 It is a partial cross-sectional three-dimensional structural schematic diagram of the utility model.

[0014] Figure 3 It is a partial three-dimensional structural schematic diagram of the utility model.

[0015] Markings in the figure are: 1-placing box, 2-hard disk, 3-sliding member, 4-sliding mounting block, 5-spring, 6-fixed block, 7-rotating member, 8-torsion spring, 9-support plate, 10-rotating wheel. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0017] A multiple hard disk hot-swap switching device, such as Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, it includes a sliding mounting block 4, on which a placement box 1 is slidably connected, guide grooves are provided on the front and rear sides of the lower part of the placement box 1, and power blocks are connected on the front and rear sides of the placement box 1, three hard disks 2 are placed inside the placement box 1, and sliding members 3 are slidably connected on the front and rear sides of the placement box 1, the lower part of the sliding mounting block 4 is a hollow structure, the sliding member 3 and the sliding mounting block 4 are slidably connected, and left-right symmetrical springs 5 ​​are connected between the sliding member 3 and the sliding mounting block 4, three fixed blocks 6 are connected to the front side of the upper part of the placement box 1, and rotating members 7 are rotatably connected to the fixed blocks 6, and left-right symmetrical torsion springs 8 are connected between the fixed blocks 6 and the adjacent rotating members 7, and a left-right symmetrical support plate 9 is connected to the front side of the placement box 1, and two rotating wheels 10 are rotatably connected to the upper front side and the bottom of the support plate 9.

[0018] When it is necessary to read different hard disks 2, hot-swap technology can be used to replace different hard disks 2. Without turning off the system power, the hard disk 2 can be directly inserted or unplugged. The hot-swap technology improves the flexibility, reliability and operation and maintenance efficiency of the system. It is an indispensable function in application scenarios that require continuous operation, high data throughput or high availability. When it is necessary to read other hard disks 2, the placement box 1 is lifted up, and the spring 5 is stretched until the upper part of the sliding mounting block 4 contacts the bottom of the guide groove of the placement box 1, so that the interface of the hard disk 2 is disengaged from the interface on the sliding mounting block 4. After the hard disk 2 is replaced, the lower part of the hard disk 2 to be read corresponds to the sliding mounting block 4, and then the placement box 1 is reset downward, and the spring 5 is reset, so that the new hard disk 2 interface is connected with the interface on the sliding mounting block 4. This method makes the switching of the hard disk 2 more convenient. When the hard disk 2 in the placement box 1 needs to be replaced, the rotating member 7 is rotated to make the rotating member 7 break away from the shielding of the original hard disk 2. After the replacement of the hard disk 2 is completed, the rotating member 7 is reset under the action of the torsion spring 8. During the sliding process of the placement box 1, the rotating wheel 10 converts hard friction into rolling friction, thereby protecting the computer motherboard.

[0019] The above is only a specific implementation of the utility model, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can easily think of changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed by the utility model, which should be included in the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model should be based on the protection scope of the claims.
