[0034] Next, refer to Figures 1-6 to describe the hard disk housing according to an embodiment of the present utility model.

[0035] As Figures 1-6 shown, the existing hard disk base 100 usually adopts a plastic material or a metal material. The processing process of the nut seat of the plastic material housing is that the nut and the housing are integrally injection-molded to fix the position of the nut, while the nut of the metal material housing is formed by stamping and punching.

[0036] Integral injection molding of the housing and the nut requires staff assistance and the position of the nut is prone to shift during the injection molding process, resulting in an affected yield rate of the housing finished product and a longer time for the processing procedure. The inherent housing structure and the corresponding production process are not conducive to improving production efficiency and the yield rate of finished products. Therefore, the hard disk housing of the present utility model is provided with a base 100 and a nut connection structure of a new structure to overcome the problems of the prior art.

[0037] Specifically, the nut connection structure includes a nut member 200 and a mounting seat 110 provided on the base 100. The nut member 200 is connected to the mounting seat 110 to form the nut seat of the base 100, and the nut member 200 and the mounting seat 110 adopt a split structure. The mounting seat 110 is integrally formed with the base 100.

[0038] The core function of the nut connection structure of this embodiment is to simplify the production process, without the need to adopt the time-consuming, laborious and low-yield process of injection molding. The nut seat is split into two parts, namely the nut member 200 and the mounting seat 110, from the structure of integral molding of the housing. Only when the nut member 200 and the mounting seat 110 are assembled can the nut seat structure of the housing be formed.

[0039] The nut member 200 is made of a metal material or a plastic material. During the production process, there is no need to embed the nut in the housing for molding. Only the mounting seat 110 for installing the nut member 200 needs to be injection-molded, which improves the yield rate of the housing molding, reduces the labor input, and the nut member 200 is produced by an independent device, effectively improving the production capacity and the yield rate.

[0040] The base 100 and the nut member 200 can be quickly connected by workers or automated assembly later. Since the connection position between the nut member 200 and the mounting seat 110 is fixed, the mounting accuracy of the nut seat of the assembled base 100 is high and it has high quality. And subsequent assembly does not require technical requirements, effectively improving the assembly efficiency and the production capacity of the finished product.

[0041] Compared with the structure and process of the existing base 100, the nut connection structure of the present utility model innovatively changes the structure of the existing base 100 to optimize the production process, lower the technical threshold, improve the yield rate and production capacity of the finished product, and meet the market demand.

[0042] In some embodiments of the present utility model, as Figures 1-3 shown, the nut member 200 includes a seat body 210 and a fixing portion 220. The fixing portion 220 is arranged on the side wall of the seat body 210. A limiting portion 111 is arranged at the position of the mounting seat 110 corresponding to the fixing portion 220. When the seat body 210 is embedded in the mounting seat 110, the fixing portion 220 is buckled with the limiting portion 111.

[0043] Specifically, the nut member 200 is made of a metal material or a plastic material. In this embodiment, the metal material is taken as an example. The fixing portions 220 are arranged on both sides of the seat body 210. When the seat body 210 is embedded in the mounting seat 110, the limiting portion 111 of the mounting seat 110 and the fixing portion 220 of the seat body 210 are buckled with each other, so as to prevent the seat body 210 from disengaging from the mounting seat 110. In this embodiment, the limiting portion 111 adopts a groove structure and the fixing portion 220 adopts a convex block structure.

[0044] In other embodiments, as Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, the limiting portion 111 can adopt a convex block structure and the fixing portion 220 adopts a groove structure to realize the plug-in assembly of the nut member 200 and the mounting seat 110.

[0045] In some embodiments of the present utility model, as Figures 1-4 shown, the mounting seat 110 is provided with a guiding portion 112, and the seat body 210 is provided with a guiding portion 212. When the nut member 200 and the mounting seat 110 are connected, the guiding portion 112 is attached to the guiding portion 212.

[0046] Specifically, the guiding portion 112 of the mounting seat 110 is composed of two side walls, and the distance between the two side walls gradually increases from the inside to the outside, forming a wide opening with a trapezoidal cross section, and the shape of the guiding portion 212 of the seat body 210 matches the wide opening. After the mounting seat 110 and the nut member 200 are plugged in, the end faces of the guiding portion 212 and the guiding portion 112 are attached to assist in guiding the alignment and installation of the nut member 200 and the mounting seat 110.

[0047] Further, a snap structure or an anti-snap structure is adopted between the fixing portion 220 and the limiting portion 111. Specifically, the structures between the fixing portion 220 and the limiting portion 111 are not described one by one. The function of the two is to achieve the position fixation of the mounting seat 110 and the nut member 200 through interlocking. The structures of the fixing portion 220 and the limiting portion 111 of the present utility model are not elaborated one by one. It should be understood that without departing from the basic concept of the present utility model, the structures of the fixing portion 220 and the limiting portion 111 can be flexibly changed, and all should be regarded as within the protection scope defined by the present utility model.

[0048] In some embodiments of the present utility model, as Figures 1-3 shown, the seat body 210 is provided with two perpendicularly intersecting screw holes 211. Specifically, the two screw holes 211 of the seat body 210 respectively correspond to the conventional installation positions of different positions of the hard disk housing and the hard disk box. The setting positions of the screw holes 211 are technical solutions well-known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

[0049] Further, as Figure 1 and Figure 4 shown, through holes are provided at the top of the mounting seat 110 corresponding to the positions of the screw holes 211. Specifically, different from the nut seat of the existing housing, the mounting seat 110 needs to be pre-formed with through holes at the positions corresponding to the screw holes 211. When the nut member 200 is assembled with the mounting seat 110, the screw holes 211 are aligned with the through holes. In other embodiments, the top of the mounting seat 110 can adopt an open structure, and the open area is larger than the area of the screw holes 211, so as to ensure that no matter how the mounting seat 110 and the nut member 200 are assembled, the screw holes 211 of the nut member 200 can be exposed.

[0050] In some embodiments of the present utility model, as Figure 1 and Figure 4 shown, it includes a cover plate 300. A mortise and tenon structure is provided between the cover plate 300 and the base 100. The mortise and tenon structure includes a convex seat 120 and a groove 310, and the convex seat 120 and the groove 310 are mutually engaged.

[0051] Specifically, the cover plate 300 of the existing hard disk housing usually adopts a snap structure, and the snaps are arranged on the periphery of the cover plate 300. The snap structure has low strength and there is a risk of breakage during the connection process. The cover plate 300 and the base 100 of the present utility model adopt a mortise and tenon structure, and a more stable assembly effect is formed through the engagement of the convex seat 120 and the groove 310.

[0052] Further, as Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, the convex seat 120 is provided on the inner wall of the base 100 and integrally formed with the base 100. The convex seat 120 is formed by using the inner wall of the base 100, and has a larger connection area with the inner wall of the base 100, which can ensure the structural strength of the convex seat 120. In the existing base 100, a notch is usually formed on the inner wall, which is likely to thin the thickness of the inner wall and reduce the structural strength of the side wall of the base 100.

[0053] Further, as Figure 1 and Figure 4 shown, the cover plate 300 is made of plastic material or metal material, and a groove 310 is formed by recessing the side wall of the cover plate 300. Specifically, the groove 310 is formed inwardly on the side wall of the cover plate 300 instead of the existing protruding buckle structure. Compared with the existing protruding buckle structure, the groove 310 is provided inside the side wall of the cover plate 300, effectively improving the structural strength of the connection between the cover plate 300 and the base 100 and enhancing the connection stability.

[0054] Further, as Figure 1 and Figure 4 shown, the groove 310 is provided around the periphery of the cover plate 300, and the convex seat 120 is provided around the inner wall of the base 100.

[0055] In addition to proposing a new connection structure, the hard disk housing of the present utility model can also make the material combination of the cover and the base 100 more free, effectively reducing the production cost. Specifically, the existing housings all adopt a full-plastic structure or a full-metal structure. The full-metal structure housing is formed by stamping and buckling, and its structure is different from that of the plastic structure housing. The plastic structure housing has poor heat dissipation performance, and the metal structure housing has a high manufacturing cost. After adopting the connection structure between the cover plate 300 and the base 100 in this embodiment, the base 100 can be made of plastic material while the cover plate 300 is made of metal material. The metal cover plate 300 has a certain heat dissipation capacity, improving the heat dissipation performance of the plastic housing. The manufacturing cost of the hard disk housing is lower than that of the metal housing, but it has good heat dissipation performance. A hard disk housing different from the existing material combination is proposed for customers to choose, enriching the types of market products and meeting the production needs of different customers.
