[0031] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the utility model clearer, the technical solution of the utility model will be described clearly and completely in conjunction with the drawings in the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are 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.

[0032] See also Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an embodiment of the utility model provides a data storage device, which includes a memory and a box structure 10, and the memory is arranged in the box structure 10. Specifically, the box structure 10 includes a shell 100 and a cover plate 200; the shell 100 is provided with a heat dissipation hole 111 connected to the internal space; the cover plate 200 is movably connected to the shell 100, and on the moving path of the cover plate 200, the cover plate 200 is used to adjust the opening and closing degree of the heat dissipation hole 111 to adjust the heat dissipation effect of the box structure 10.

[0033] When the box structure 10 of this embodiment is applied, by setting the cover plate 200 and the outer shell 100 together, when it is necessary to dissipate heat in the internal space of the outer shell 100, the cover plate 200 can be moved to increase the opening and closing degree of the heat dissipation holes 111, at this time, the air convection efficiency can be increased and the heat dissipation effect can be enhanced; when dust prevention is needed, the cover plate 200 can be moved to reduce the opening and closing degree of the heat dissipation holes 111, at this time, the air convection efficiency can be reduced to achieve the dust prevention function.

[0034] In the box structure 10 of this embodiment, by setting a movable cover plate 200 to cooperate with the shell 100, the opening and closing degree of the heat dissipation hole 111 can be adjusted according to the heat dissipation demand to change the size of the airflow passing through the heat dissipation hole 111, so as to avoid the problem of dust accumulation inside the box structure 10 when the heat dissipation demand is weak, and enhance the heat dissipation effect when the heat dissipation demand is strong. The structure is simple and the use effect is good. When the box structure 10 is applied to a data storage device, the opening and closing degree of the heat dissipation hole 111 can be adjusted according to the heat dissipation demand of the memory to achieve heat dissipation or dust prevention functions, and the use effect is good.

[0035] Furthermore, the box structure 10 further includes a damping member 300 , which is connected to the housing 100 , and the cover plate 200 is at least partially in contact with the damping member 300 . The damping member 300 is used to limit the flipping angle of the cover plate 200 .

[0036] Thus, when the cover plate 200 rotates relative to the housing 100, the damping member 300 contacts the cover plate 200, and the damping member 300 can provide a reaction force (friction force, elastic force, etc.) for the cover plate 200, so that the cover plate 200 can be supported for flipping when the cover plate 200 leaves the closed position, so as to realize the limiting function of the cover plate 200, such as maintaining the flip angle of the cover plate 200; when the cover plate 200 needs to be moved, the limiting function of the damping member 300 can be released by applying a force on the cover plate 200 that exceeds the damping effect of the damping member 300. In this embodiment, since the cover plate 200 does not need to be flipped at a high frequency (for example, the number of flips required in a day is usually no more than 5-10 times), the damping member 300 is provided to cooperate with the cover plate 200, and the function of limiting the flip angle of the cover plate 200 can be realized without an additional complex mechanical structure, and the structure is simple and the manufacturing cost is low.

[0037] In one embodiment, the damping member 300 is a flexible gasket.

[0038] In this embodiment, the damping member 300 can be a rubber gasket or a silicone gasket. When the cover 200 rotates relative to the outer shell 100, the damping member 300 can slide with the cover 200 and generate friction to realize the damping limit function of the damping member 300; it should be noted that the hardness range of rubber and silicone is generally between 30Shore A and 90Shore A. As the Shore A value increases, the hardness increases accordingly. In a preferred embodiment, the damping member 300 can adopt a material with a hardness of 60Shore A to 75Shore A to make the damping member 300 harder, thereby improving the damping effect.

[0039] In other embodiments, the damping member 300 may also be made of a hard material. In this case, when the cover plate 200 rotates relative to the damping member 300, the damping member 300 may apply pressure on the surface of the cover plate 200, or limit the cover plate 200 by friction.

[0040] In some embodiments, the damping member 300 includes a spring and a limiting plate. The limiting plate may be provided with anti-slip patterns, anti-slip rubber layers, etc. on the side facing the cover plate 200 to prevent slipping and contacting the cover plate 200. The spring is provided on the side of the limiting plate away from the cover plate 200 and is used to apply an elastic force toward the limiting plate so that the anti-slip structure of the limiting plate contacts the cover plate 200, thereby realizing the limiting function.

[0041] Specifically, the housing 100 includes an upper cover 110 and a shell 120. The upper cover 110 is detachably connected to the shell 120, and the heat dissipation holes 111 are arranged on the upper cover 110. The upper cover 110 is provided with a limiting surface 112. The cover plate 200 is rotatably connected to the upper cover 110. At the end of the moving path of the cover plate 200, the limiting surface 112 abuts against the upper cover 110.

[0042] With this arrangement, an upper cover 110 of corresponding specifications can be installed according to heat dissipation requirements. For example, when a larger amount of heat dissipation is required, an upper cover 110 with more heat dissipation holes 111 can be installed; by providing a limiting surface 112 on the upper cover 110 to cooperate with the cover plate 200, when the cover plate 200 is flipped to the end of the path, the cover plate 200 can abut against the limiting surface 112 and limit the rotation of the cover plate 200 through the upper cover 110; of course, the path end mentioned above can be the position when the cover plate 200 is in the open position, or it can be the limit position beyond the open position, which is specifically determined according to the actual design and installation position of the cover plate 200, and is not the only limitation here.

[0043] In one embodiment, the housing 100 further includes a fixing plate 130 , which is detachably connected to the upper cover 110 , and the fixing plate 130 and the upper cover 110 enclose a mounting cavity 131 , in which the damping member 300 is disposed.

[0044] According to the arrangement, when assembling the box structure 10 of the present embodiment, the cover plate 200 is firstly rotatably connected to the upper cover 110 through the pin shaft, and then the damping member 300 is placed in the installation cavity 131 of the fixing plate 130, and then the fixing plate 130 is connected and fixed to the upper cover 110. At this time, the fixing plate 130 and the upper cover 110 can be fixed and the damping member 300 can be in contact with the surface of the cover plate 200. At the same time, the upper cover 110, the fixing plate 130 and the cover plate 200 form an integral module structure, and then the module structure is combined with the shell 120 to complete the assembly of the box structure 10; in a preferred embodiment, the upper cover 110 and the shell 120 can be connected by snap-fit ​​connection, so that the combination of the upper cover 110 and the shell 120 can be completed without additional fixing parts. At the same time, since there is no need to set additional fasteners, it can also avoid the accidental situation that the fasteners damage the memory during the installation of the data storage device, and the safety of the box structure 10 is also improved.

[0045] Specifically, the cover plate 200 includes a plate body 210 and a hinge portion 220 connected to each other. The hinge portion 220 is rotatably connected to the upper cover 110 , and an outer wall of the hinge portion 220 contacts the damping member 300 . The plate body 210 is used to cover the heat dissipation hole 111 .

[0046] In this embodiment, the cover plate 200 is rotatably connected to the upper cover 110 via the hinge portion 220, and the plate body 210 is used to cover the heat dissipation holes 111 of the upper cover 110 to open or close the heat dissipation holes 111; of course, in some embodiments, the plate body 210 and the hinge portion 220 can also be combined with a detachable connection method such as screws, snaps, etc., so that the hinge portion 220 can be replaced when it is worn.

[0047] In a preferred embodiment, the heat dissipation holes 111 and the cover plate 200 are disposed on the top of the housing 100 .

[0048] With this arrangement, when the memory in the data storage device dissipates heat, the hot air will accumulate toward the top of the box structure 10 due to its lower density. By arranging the heat dissipation holes 111 at the top of the box structure 10, the hot air can be dissipated faster from the heat dissipation holes 111 at the top of the box structure 10, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the box structure 10.

[0049] Furthermore, the housing 100 is also provided with ventilation holes, which are connected to the internal space.

[0050] In this embodiment, by setting ventilation holes in conjunction with the internal space and the heat dissipation holes 111, the heat dissipation effect of the box structure 10 can be further improved; of course, in this embodiment, when the cover 200 is in the closed position, the memory can also dissipate heat through the ventilation holes.

[0051] In one embodiment, the ventilation holes include a first ventilation hole 121 and a second ventilation hole 122. The cover plate 200 is spaced apart from the heat dissipation hole 111 to form the first ventilation hole 121, and the first ventilation hole 121 is arranged around the heat dissipation hole 111. The second ventilation hole 122 is arranged on a side of the housing 100 away from the heat dissipation hole 111.

[0052] In this arrangement, after the first ventilation hole 121 and the second ventilation hole 122 are connected to the internal space of the outer shell 100, the second ventilation hole 122 can be used for air intake and the first ventilation hole 121 can be used for air exhaust, so as to form a penetrating heat dissipation channel on the box structure 10. When the airflow passes through the heat dissipation channel, the heat generated by the memory can be taken out, so as to improve the heat dissipation effect of the data storage device.
