Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present application without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present application.

[0030] The present application provides a simple installation bracket for a hard disk, which is used to improve the replacement efficiency of the hard disk and enhance the test efficiency of the hard disk. The specific implementation process of the present application is described as follows.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 1 only Figure 5 , a simple installation bracket for a hard disk provided by the present application includes:

[0032] A bracket main body 1 and retaining plates 2 arranged on both sides of the bracket main body 1. A test area for placing the hard disk is formed between the retaining plates 2 on both sides; the retaining plate 2 includes a flipping part 22, a fixing part 21 and a pin 23. The fixing part 21 is fixedly connected to the bracket main body 1. The flipping part 22 is arranged above the fixing part 21, and the flipping part 22 is movably connected to the fixing part 21 through a connecting member 4. The flipping part 22 can rotate around the connecting member 4; the pin 23 is arranged on the flipping part 22, and the pin 23 protrudes in the direction facing the hard disk, and the pin 23 rotates with the flipping part 22.

[0033] The bracket main body 1 is the basic framework of the whole structure, usually made of metal or hard plastic to ensure sufficient strength and durability. An interface is provided on the bracket main body 1, and the interface corresponds to the interface on the hard disk. When the hard disk is placed in the test area, the interface on the bracket main body 1 is correspondingly connected to the interface on the hard disk to achieve data transmission and the test process. The bracket main body 1 provides a stable support platform for the hard disk, so that the hard disk can remain stable during installation and use, reducing the risk of vibration and damage.

[0034] The retaining plates 2 on both sides are connected to the bracket main body 1 to form a test area around, so that the hard disk can be fixed in the test area. The structures of the retaining plates 2 on both sides are the same, and both are composed of a flipping part 22, a fixing part 21 and a pin 23. The fixing part 21 serves as the support point of the flipping part 22 and is tightly connected to the bracket main body 1 to ensure the stability of the overall structure; the flipping part 22 can flexibly adjust the clamping degree of the hard disk through flipping operation, facilitating the installation and disassembly of the hard disk. At the same time, the pin 23 on the flipping part 22 is designed to further fix the hard disk to prevent the hard disk from shifting during the test process.

[0035] The pin 23 is arranged on the flipping part 22, protruding towards the hard disk direction, and can rotate with the flipping part 22. Fixing holes are arranged on both sides of the hard disk. The position of the pin 23 is aligned with the position of the fixing holes. When the flipping part 22 flips to fit with the fixing part 21, the pin 23 is inserted into the fixing holes inward, thereby realizing the fixation of the hard disk. The pin 23 serves as an additional fixing point for the hard disk and is automatically pushed into the fixing holes of the hard disk when the flipping part 22 is closed, ensuring that the hard disk is firmly installed on the bracket and avoiding accidental detachment during the testing process.

[0036] The flipping part 22 and the fixing part 21 are movably connected through a connecting member 4. The connecting member 4 enables the flipping part 22 to rotate flexibly, adapting to the installation and disassembly requirements of the hard disk, while ensuring the connection strength between the flipping part 22 and the fixing part 21.

[0037] Optionally, in an implementable manner, the connecting member 4 is a hinge or a hinge joint.

[0038] Optionally, in an implementable manner, a supporting piece 3 is arranged in the testing area. Both sides of the supporting piece 3 are respectively connected to the fixing parts 21 in the retaining pieces 2 on both sides of the bracket main body 1. The supporting piece 3 is used to support the hard disk. There are several connection methods between the supporting piece 3 and the fixing part 21. One is fixed by screws, and the other is fixed using an installation groove. In the method of fixing with an installation groove, an installation groove is arranged on the fixing part 21. The notch of the installation groove faces the hard disk, and the height of the installation groove is greater than the height of the side surface of the supporting piece 3. In actual use, the side surface of the supporting piece 3 is inserted into the installation groove. It can be understood that the screws and the installation groove can also be used in combination. After inserting the supporting piece 3 into the installation groove, the supporting piece 3 is then connected to the fixing part 21 through screws penetrating the fixing part 21.

[0039] In addition, in this implementable manner, a plurality of heat dissipation holes 31 penetrating up and down are arranged on the supporting piece 3. The heat dissipation holes 31 promote the air circulation between the hard disk and the external environment, effectively reducing the temperature of the hard disk during long-term operation and improving the stability and reliability of the system.

[0040] In this embodiment, the supporting piece 3 provides an additional supporting surface for the hard disk, ensuring that the hard disk remains horizontal during installation, while dispersing the pressure of the hard disk on the bracket main body 1 and increasing the structural stability. In addition, the design of the heat dissipation holes 31 on the supporting piece 3 helps with the heat dissipation of the hard disk and extends its service life.

[0041] Optionally, the flipping part 22 can rotate around the connecting member 4, and its rotatable angle is 0 - 90 degrees.

[0042] Optionally, please continue to refer to Figure 5In another achievable manner, a pin hole is provided on the flip part 22, a pin 23 is provided in the pin hole, a spring 24 is provided between the pin 23 and the pin hole, a paddle 25 is provided on the pin 23, the paddle 25 is fixedly connected to the pin 23, and the paddle 25 penetrates upward and protrudes from the upper surface of the flip part 22. In actual use, the paddle 25 can be moved to make the pin 23 retract inward into the pin hole, at which time the spring 24 is retracted, the pin 23 is away from the hard disk, and the hard disk can be removed from the bracket body 1. After replacing the hard disk, the paddle 25 is released, the spring 24 is released, and the pin 23 is pushed into the fixing holes on both sides of the hard disk to complete the installation process.

[0043] Optional, please continue to Figure 3 A movable lock buckle 5 is provided between the flip part 22 and the fixed part 21, and the movable lock buckle 5 further enhances the locking effect between the flip part 22 and the fixed part 21, thereby preventing the flip part 22 from accidentally opening due to vibration or the like during the test.

[0044] Optionally, the fixing portion 21 and the bracket body 1 are integrally formed. The integral molding design reduces assembly errors between components, improves the compactness and stability of the overall structure, simplifies the production process, and reduces costs.

[0045] In the present application, the reversible flip part 22 and the pin 23 are used to replace the screw fixation in the prior art, which can simplify the installation and removal steps and improve the efficiency of installation and removal. The simple installation bracket realizes the fast installation, stable support and effective heat dissipation of the hard disk through the coordinated work of the carefully designed various components, which provides great convenience for the testing and use of the hard disk.
