[0022] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the utility model, the technical solution in the embodiment of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0023] like Figure 1-3As shown, a quick-release device for installing a mechanical hard disk is used to quickly install and fix the mechanical hard disk 200 to the housing 100 of a server or computer. The quick-release device includes a bracket body 1, on which a U-shaped limit frame 2 is provided, which is adapted to the shape and size of the mechanical hard disk 200 to be installed. The U-shaped limit frame 2 is used to limit and fix the mechanical hard disk 200 to be installed. A hard disk limit structure is provided on the side wall of the U-shaped limit frame 2, and the hard disk limit structure can be detachably connected to the mechanical hard disk 200 to be installed. During installation, the mechanical hard disk 200 can be limited and installed in the U-shaped limit frame 2 through the hard disk limit structure; during disassembly, the mechanical hard disk 200 can also be easily disassembled from the hard disk limit structure. The bracket body 1 is also provided with a bracket limiting structure and a snap-fit ​​structure. The bracket limiting structure is used to limit and fix the bracket body 1 on the shell 100, thereby limiting the bracket body 1 and the mechanical hard disk 200 at a preset installation position of the shell 100; the snap-fit ​​structure is detachably connected to the shell 100, and the bracket body 1 can be installed on the shell 100 through the snap-fit ​​structure, and the bracket body 1 can also be removed from the shell 100 by operating the snap-fit ​​structure, so as to disassemble the mechanical hard disk 200.

[0024] When installing the mechanical hard disk 200, first install the mechanical hard disk 200 into the U-shaped limit frame 2, and limit and fix the mechanical hard disk 200 in the U-shaped limit frame 2 through the hard disk limit structure; then hold the bracket body 1 and the mechanical hard disk 200, and place the bracket body 1 at the preset installation position by aligning the bracket limit structure and the installation position on the shell 100; then operate the snap-fit ​​structure to make the snap-fit ​​structure snap-fit ​​and fix it with the shell 100, so that the bracket body 1 and the mechanical hard disk 200 are fixedly installed on the shell 100, and the installation process of the mechanical hard disk 200 is completed. When it is necessary to disassemble the mechanical hard disk 200, only the snap-fit ​​structure needs to be manually operated to separate the snap-fit ​​structure from the shell 100, so that the bracket body 1 and the mechanical hard disk 200 are taken out from the shell 100; then the mechanical hard disk 200 is taken out from the U-shaped limit frame 2 to complete the disassembly of the mechanical hard disk 200.

[0025] The mechanical hard disk 200 can be installed using the quick-release device without the aid of other tools, and can be completed by manual operation; there is no need to use screws and other parts to fix the mechanical hard disk 200, and only one bracket body 1 is needed to complete the installation and disassembly, thereby reducing the difficulty of installation and disassembly of the mechanical hard disk 200, saving installation time and improving efficiency.

[0026] Specifically, the hard disk limiting structure includes a plurality of limiting posts 3 arranged on the left and right side walls of the U-shaped limiting frame 2, and the limiting posts 3 are used to be detachably plugged into the limiting holes on the mechanical hard disk 200. In this embodiment, there are four limiting posts 3, and the four limiting posts 3 are symmetrically distributed on the left and right side walls of the U-shaped limiting frame 2. In other embodiments, the number of limiting posts 3 can also be any other number, as long as it is ensured that there is at least one limiting post 3 on each of the left and right side walls of the U-shaped limiting frame 2. The number and distribution of the limiting posts 3 can be adaptively set according to the distribution of the limiting holes on the mechanical hard disk 200.

[0027] It should be noted that the bracket body 1 is made of a material with a certain toughness; when installing the mechanical hard disk 200, you only need to hold the bracket body 1 and use appropriate force to bend the bracket body 1 to make it undergo a certain elastic deformation; then hold the mechanical hard disk 200, and align the limit columns 3 with the limit holes on the mechanical hard disk 200 respectively, and then release the bracket body 1, the bracket body 1 will automatically restore, and each limit column 3 will automatically be inserted into the corresponding limit hole on the mechanical hard disk 200, until the two side walls of the U-shaped limit frame 2 are respectively connected to the side walls of the mechanical hard disk 200, so that the mechanical hard disk 200 is limited and fixed in the U-shaped limit frame 2.

[0028] In order to reduce the squeezing of the U-shaped limit frame 2 on the mechanical hard disk 200 and ensure the aesthetics of the mechanical hard disk 200, a first buffer pad 4 is sleeved on each limit column 3. After the mechanical hard disk 200 is installed in the U-shaped limit frame 2, the limit column 3 is inserted into the limit hole of the mechanical hard disk 200. As the support body 1 recovers and deforms, the side wall of the mechanical hard disk 200 will abut against the first buffer pad 4, and the mechanical hard disk 200 will squeeze the first buffer pad 4 until the other side of the first buffer pad 4 abuts against the U-shaped limit frame 2. By providing the first buffer pad 4, the mechanical hard disk 200 will not directly contact the U-shaped limit frame 2, reducing the impact force of the support body 1 on the mechanical hard disk 200 and ensuring the aesthetics of the outer surface of the mechanical hard disk 200; on the other hand, the first buffer pad 4 can also play a role in shock absorption, thereby improving the working stability of the mechanical hard disk 200.

[0029] In order to facilitate the bracket body 1 to be bent and deformed, in this embodiment, two hollow holes 5 are provided on the upper end surface of the U-shaped limit frame 2. By providing the hollow holes 5, the bracket body 1 can be more easily bent and deformed, thereby reducing the difficulty of installing the mechanical hard disk 200 and improving efficiency.

[0030] In this embodiment, the hard disk limiting structure also includes a first limiting block 6 provided on the U-shaped limiting frame 2. The first limiting block 6 can be connected to the mechanical hard disk 200. The first limiting block 6 is used to limit the installation position of the mechanical hard disk 200 on the U-shaped limiting frame 2. When installing the mechanical hard disk 200, the mechanical hard disk 200 is held by hand so that one end of the mechanical hard disk 200 abuts against the first limiting block 6; at this time, the limiting hole on the mechanical hard disk 200 is just aligned with the limiting column 3 on the U-shaped limiting frame 2, and then the bracket body 1 is bent to make it elastically deformed, and the limiting column 3 can be respectively inserted into the limiting hole on the mechanical hard disk 200, thereby completing the installation. By providing the first limiting block 6, the limiting hole on the mechanical hard disk 200 can be quickly aligned with the limiting column 3, thereby improving the efficiency of installation.

[0031] The bracket limiting structure includes a plurality of second limiting blocks 7 arranged on the bracket body 1, and the second limiting blocks 7 are respectively arranged on the periphery of the left and right sides of the U-shaped limiting frame 2. In this embodiment, two second limiting blocks 7 are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the U-shaped limiting frame 2; during installation, after the mechanical hard disk 200 is installed on the bracket body 1, the bracket body 1 is held by hand, and the second limiting blocks 7 are aligned with the preset installation position on the shell 100, and the snap connection is completed, and then the bracket body 1 can be fixedly installed on the shell 100 by operating the snap-fit ​​structure, thereby completing the installation of the mechanical hard disk 200. By setting the second limiting blocks 7, the installation position of the bracket body 1 on the shell 100 can be limited, so that the bracket body 1 is limited and fixed on the shell 100, which is convenient for installation and disassembly, and can also be quickly positioned and installed.

[0032] The second limit block 7 is provided with a second buffer pad 8, which is respectively in contact with the second limit block 7 and the housing 100; during installation, the bracket body 1 is held, and after the second limit block 7 is aligned with the installation position on the housing 100, the second limit block 7 and the housing 100 can be clamped and fixed by pushing or squeezing the bracket body 1; at this time, the second buffer pad 8 is respectively in contact with the housing 100 and the second limit block 7. By providing the second buffer pad 8, the bracket body 1 will not be in direct contact with the housing 100, which can play a role in shock absorption, thereby improving the working stability of the mechanical hard disk 200.

[0033] In this embodiment, the first buffer pad 4 and the second buffer pad 8 are respectively made of foam materials; in other embodiments, the first buffer pad 4 and the second buffer pad 8 may also be made of other flexible and elastic materials.

[0034] The snap-fit ​​structure includes a hook 9 provided on the bracket body 1, and a slot adapted to the hook 9 is provided at the installation position on the housing 100. The hook 9 is snap-fitted with the slot on the housing 100, so that the bracket body 1 and the housing 100 can be snap-fitted and fixed. The hook 9 can be separated from the housing 100 by pressing the hook 9, so that the mechanical hard disk 200 can be disassembled; the snap-fit ​​structure can be installed and disassembled without any tools, saving the time of loading and unloading.

[0035] In this embodiment, there are two hooks 9, and the two hooks 9 are respectively arranged on one of the side walls of the U-shaped limit frame 2. The engaging structure also includes a push rod 10, which is respectively connected to one end of the two hooks 9 away from the U-shaped limit frame 2, and the push rod 10 is used to push the hooks 9 to separate from the housing 100; during installation, the two hooks 9 can be pressed down by pressing the push rod 10, so that the hooks 9 can be easily inserted into the slots on the housing 100, so as to achieve the purpose of quickly installing the bracket body 1 on the housing 100; during disassembly, the hooks 9 can also be pressed down by pressing the push rod 10, so that the hooks 9 can be easily separated from the housing 100. By setting two hooks 9, the stability of the connection between the bracket body 1 and the housing 100 can be improved, thereby improving the stability of the installation of the mechanical hard disk 200; by setting the push rod 10, the user can operate conveniently, so that the two hooks 9 can be engaged or separated at the same time, improving the loading and unloading efficiency and saving time.

[0036] In other embodiments, the hooks 9 may also be respectively provided on the two side walls of the U-shaped limiting frame 2; the present utility model does not impose any limitation on this.

[0037] Working principle:

[0038] When installing the mechanical hard disk 200, first place the mechanical hard disk 200 on the bracket body 1, and make one end of the mechanical hard disk 200 connect with the first limit block 6; then bend the bracket body 1 to make the U-shaped limit frame 2 elastically deform, and make the limit columns 3 respectively inserted into the limit holes of the mechanical hard disk 200; then release the bracket body 1, the bracket body 1 will recover and deform, and the limit columns 3 will automatically insert into the corresponding limit holes until the side wall of the mechanical hard disk 200 abuts against the first buffer pad 4, thereby limiting and fixing the mechanical hard disk 200 through the limit columns 3 and the U-shaped limit frame 2.

[0039] Then hold the bracket body 1, so that the second limit block 7 is aligned with the installation position on the shell 100, and the second limit block 7 is engaged with the installation position on the shell 100; then press the hand push rod 10, so that the two hooks 9 are pressed down respectively, and the hooks 9 are pushed into the slots on the shell 100, and then release the hand push rod 10, the hooks 9 will be restored and deformed, and will be respectively engaged in the slots of the shell 100, so that the hooks 9 and the shell 100 are respectively engaged and fixed, thereby limiting and fixing the bracket body 1 to the shell 100, and completing the installation process of the mechanical hard disk 200; the whole process does not require the use of other parts or the use of any tools.

[0040] When the mechanical hard disk 200 needs to be disassembled, the two hooks 9 are pressed down by pressing the hand push rod 10, and the hand push rod 10 is pulled to separate the hooks 9 from the slots of the housing 100; then the bracket body 1 can be held to separate the second limit block 7 from the housing 100. Then the bracket body 1 is bent to make it elastically deformed, so that the limit column 3 is pulled out from the limit hole of the mechanical hard disk 200, and then the mechanical hard disk 200 can be taken out from the bracket body 1 to complete the disassembly process.
