[0021] In order to enable those skilled in the art of this technology to better understand the solution of this utility model, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings.

[0022] As Figures 1-4 shown, a housing structure for facilitating the replacement of a solid-state drive is used to be installed on a laptop computer. The housing structure includes a housing 1. A control board of the laptop computer is encapsulated in the housing 1. A plug connector 2 is welded on the control board. The plug connector 2 is used to plug in a solid-state drive 3, and the solid-state drive 3 is detachably plugged into the plug connector 2. A window 11 is provided at a position corresponding to the solid-state drive 3 on the rear end face of the housing 1. The size and shape of the window 11 are respectively adapted to the solid-state drive 3. A sealing cover plate 4 is installed on the window 11, and the sealing cover plate 4 is detachably connected to the window 11.

[0023] Under normal circumstances, by plugging the solid-state drive 3 into the plug connector 2 and then covering the window 11 with the sealing cover plate 4, the solid-state drive 3 can be encapsulated in the housing 1. When it is necessary to replace the solid-state drive 3, the user only needs to remove the sealing cover plate 4 from the housing 1 to expose the window 11 and the solid-state drive 3. Then, by holding the solid-state drive 3, the solid-state drive 3 can be pulled out from the plug connector 2, thereby removing the solid-state drive 3; then, align the new solid-state drive 3 with the plug connector 2, plug it into the plug connector 2, and then cover the window 11 with the sealing cover plate 4 to complete the replacement work of the solid-state drive 3.

[0024] This housing structure enables the replacement of the solid-state drive 3 without disassembling the machine, which is convenient for after-sales maintenance and improves the efficiency of after-sales maintenance. At the same time, it reduces the difficulty of replacing the solid-state drive 3 and can also meet the user's need to replace the solid-state drive 3 during daily use, thus meeting the user's diverse usage needs and enhancing the user's favorable impression of the usage experience.

[0025] To enable the sealing cover plate 4 to be fixedly installed on the opening window 11, an inner support 5 is fixedly installed in the housing 1. At positions corresponding to the opening window 11 on the inner support 5, a plurality of clamping grooves 51 are provided. At positions corresponding to the clamping grooves 51 on the sealing cover plate 4, clamping blocks 41 are respectively provided, and the clamping blocks 41 are detachably clamped with the corresponding clamping grooves 51. When the sealing cover plate 4 seals the opening window 11, the clamping blocks 41 on the sealing cover plate 4 are respectively aligned with the corresponding clamping grooves 51, and then the clamping blocks 41 are forced into the clamping grooves 51 to complete the clamping work of the two, so that the sealing cover plate 4 can be sealed on the opening window 11, thereby enabling the sealing cover plate 4 to be connected and fixed to the housing 1 in a limited manner.

[0026] In this embodiment, there are a total of six clamping grooves 51 on the inner support 5, and the six clamping grooves 51 are symmetrically distributed in pairs on the left and right sides of the opening window 11; that is, three clamping grooves 51 are distributed on each of the left and right sides of the opening window 11, and the clamping grooves 51 on the left and right sides of the opening window 11 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence. In other embodiments, the number of clamping grooves 51 can also be any other number, and their distribution method can also be any other method, as long as it is ensured that after all the clamping blocks 41 are clamped with the clamping grooves 51, the sealing cover plate 4 can be connected and fixed to the housing 1 in a limited manner.

[0027] It should be noted that after the sealing cover plate 4 is installed, the lower end surface of the sealing cover plate 4 abuts against the upper end surface of the inner support 5, and the upper end surface of the sealing cover plate 4 is flush with the rear end surface of the outer shell; thus making the rear end surface of the housing 1 flat as a whole, which not only ensures the overall aesthetics of the notebook computer but also facilitates placing the notebook computer on a flat table for operation, improving the practicality.

[0028] To limit the position of the solid-state drive 3 in the housing 1, a limiting post 6 is provided at a position corresponding to the opening window 11 in the housing 1. The limiting post 6 is arranged on the side of the opening window 11 away from the plug connector 2, and the limiting post 6 is used to limit one end of the solid-state drive 3 away from the plug connector 2. During the installation of the solid-state drive 3, one end of the solid-state drive 3 is plugged into the plug connector 2; then the whole solid-state drive 3 is placed into the opening window 11, and one end of the solid-state drive 3 away from the plug connector 2 can abut against the limiting post 6, so that the fixed hard disk is limited in the housing 1 through the cooperation of the limiting post 6 and the plug connector 2, avoiding unnecessary movement.

[0029] In the specific implementation process, a limiting groove 31 can be provided at one end of the solid-state drive 3 away from the plug connector 2. After the solid-state drive 3 is installed in the housing 1, the limiting groove 31 is sleeved around the limiting post 6 and is clamped and fixed to the outer side wall of the limiting post 6.

[0030] In order to enable the sealing cover plate 4 to be fixedly connected to the housing 1, the housing structure further includes a fixing screw 7. An internal threaded post 8 is provided at a position on the inner bracket 5 corresponding to the opening window 11. A through hole 42 is provided at a position on the sealing cover plate 4 corresponding to the internal threaded post 8. The fixing screw 7 passes through the through hole 42 and is threadedly connected to the internal threaded post 8. During the assembly process, after the clamping block 41 on the sealing cover plate 4 is clamped with the clamping groove 51 on the inner bracket 5, the fixing screw 7 is passed through the through hole 42 and threadedly connected and fixed to the internal threaded post 8, so that the sealing cover plate 4 is fixedly connected to the housing 1, avoiding the non-necessary displacement of the sealing cover plate 4 and improving the structural stability.

[0031] In this embodiment, a counterbore groove 43 is provided on the upper end surface of the sealing cover plate 4. The counterbore groove 43 is provided around the through hole 42. The counterbore groove 43 is adapted to the end size of the fixing screw 7, and the fixing screw 7 abuts against the counterbore groove 43. After the fixing screw 7 is threadedly connected and fixed to the internal threaded post 8, the end of the fixing screw 7 just sinks into the counterbore groove 43. By abutting the counterbore groove 43 against the fixing screw 7, the fixing screw 7 is connected and fixed to the housing 1, and at the same time, the rear end surface of the notebook computer is made flat as a whole, ensuring the aesthetics and facilitating use.

[0032] A hand-holding groove 12 is provided on the rear end surface of the housing 1. The hand-holding groove 12 is connected to one side edge of the opening window 11; by providing the hand-holding groove 12, it is convenient for the user to remove the sealing cover plate 4 from the housing 1. In the specific use process, when it is necessary to disassemble the sealing cover plate 4, first take out the fixing screw 7, and then the user can put the finger into the hand-holding groove 12 so that the finger can contact the side wall of the sealing cover plate 4, so as to forcefully separate the clamping block 41 on the sealing cover plate 4 from the clamping groove 51 on the inner bracket 5, thereby taking out the sealing cover plate 4.

[0033] The above specific implementation manners are the preferred implementation manners of the present invention, and do not limit the specific implementation scope of the present invention. The scope of the present invention includes but is not limited to this specific implementation manner. All equivalent changes made in accordance with the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
