Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of hard disk heat dissipation, in particular to an active cooling mechanism for an SSD solid state hard disk. Background Art

[0002] A solid-state drive (SSD) is a storage device that primarily uses flash memory as permanent storage. Compared to mechanical hard drives, SSDs have far superior read and write speeds and are characterized by low power consumption, no noise, and high vibration resistance.

[0003] After searching, Chinese patent announcement number: CN220189243U discloses an active cooling mechanism for solid-state hard disks, which relates to the field of hard disk heat dissipation technology, including a solid-state hard disk, wherein the top and bottom ends of the solid-state hard disk are both connected by adhesive with thermal pads, and the thermal pads are used to conduct the heat generated by the solid-state hard disk during operation, and the top of one of the thermal pads is adhesively connected to an upper heat sink. The utility model is provided with a micro water tank, a micro water pump, and a guide tube, so that the micro water pump extracts the coolant inside the micro water tank and then transports the coolant to the inside of one guide tube, and the coolant inside one guide tube is transported to the inside of the other guide tube through a connecting tube. The coolant flows inside the two guide tubes, so that the coolant is evenly circulated inside the upper heat sink and the lower heat sink, thereby dissipating the heat received by the upper heat sink and the lower heat sink to reduce the temperature, so that when the solid-state hard disk generates heat during operation, the device can achieve an active cooling effect on it.

[0004] The above technology uses a micro water tank to dissipate heat for the solid-state hard drive, which has a good heat dissipation effect. However, the cooling mechanism of the solid-state hard drive in the above technology is integrated with the solid-state hard drive, which makes it more troublesome to clean the solid-state hard drive and requires replacing the entire solid-state hard drive when repairing and replacing it. Therefore, an active cooling mechanism for the SSD solid-state hard drive is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to make up for the above shortcomings, the utility model provides an active cooling mechanism for SSD solid state drives, aiming to improve the problems in the prior art that it is troublesome to clean the solid state drives and that the entire solid state drives need to be replaced when they are inspected and replaced.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions: an active cooling mechanism for an SSD solid-state hard drive, comprising a mounting mainboard, a mounting slot fixedly connected to the top of the mounting mainboard, a solid-state hard drive clamped on the left side of the mounting slot, a heat dissipation shell abutting the top of the mounting mainboard, two support frames fixedly connected to the top of the heat dissipation shell, a cooling fan fixedly connected to the inside of each of the two support frames, a dustproof component provided inside the support frame, a heat sink fixedly connected to the inside of the support frame, the bottom of the heat sink in contact with the top of the solid-state hard drive, and quick-release components provided at both ends of the heat dissipation shell.

[0007] Through the above technical solution, the heat generated by the solid-state hard drive during operation is absorbed by the heat sink, and then the heat sink is dissipated by the cooling fan, thereby reducing the impact on the performance of the solid-state hard drive due to the large amount of heat generated.

[0008] Furthermore, the dustproof assembly includes two dustproof plates, both of which are slidably connected to the inside of the heat dissipation shell, and two card slots are provided at the rear ends of the two heat dissipation shells. A plurality of card blocks are slidably connected to the inside of the heat dissipation shell, and the plurality of card blocks are respectively clamped in the plurality of card slots, and the rear ends of the plurality of card blocks are fixedly connected to pull rods, and the outer peripheries of the plurality of pull rods are all provided with springs.

[0009] Through the above technical solution, when the cooling fan is running, external dust enters the heat dissipation shell through the airflow, and the dust shield prevents the dust from entering the solid-state drive, thereby ensuring the operating environment of the solid-state drive. The dust shield can be quickly removed and installed by pulling the pull rod, making it easier to clean the dust shield.

[0010] Furthermore, the quick-release assembly includes two fixing frames, which are respectively fixedly connected to the left and right ends of the heat dissipation shell, and the two fixing frames are slidably connected to the inside of the two fixing frames. The bottoms of the two latches are fixedly connected to the top of the mounting mainboard, and the inside of the two latches are fixedly connected to two springs 2, and the two springs 2 are fixedly connected to a stopper on the separated side.

[0011] Through the above technical solution, the heat dissipation shell is fixed to the solid state drive through the block, so that the internal structure of the heat dissipation shell dissipates heat for the solid state drive. The block is pressed into the inside of the latch so that the block no longer fixes the heat dissipation shell, and the solid state drive can be inspected and replaced.

[0012] Furthermore, a plurality of limiting grooves are provided inside the heat dissipation shell, and the plurality of pull rods are slidably connected inside the plurality of limiting grooves respectively.

[0013] Through the above technical solution, the limiting groove inside the heat dissipation shell is used to provide sliding space for the pull rod.

[0014] Furthermore, the rear ends of the plurality of pull rods are fixedly connected to the limiting blocks, and the plurality of limiting blocks are in contact with the rear end of the heat dissipation shell.

[0015] Through the above technical solution, the limit block at the rear end of the pull rod is used to prevent the spring from resetting the block too far, resulting in the inability to fix the dustproof plate.

[0016] Furthermore, the rear ends of the plurality of limit blocks are fixedly connected to handles, and the separated sides of the two dustproof plates are fixedly connected to handles.

[0017] Through the above technical solution, the handle is used for the operator to better pull the block so that the dustproof plate loses its restraint, and the handle is used for the operator to better pull out the dustproof plate for cleaning.

[0018] Furthermore, two sliding grooves are provided inside the two latches, and the plurality of stoppers are slidably connected inside the plurality of sliding grooves respectively.

[0019] Through the above technical solution, the sliding groove inside the latch is used to provide sliding space for the stopper.

[0020] Furthermore, a fixing hole is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting mainboard, and the left side of the solid state drive abuts against the top of the fixing hole.

[0021] Through the above technical solution, the fixing hole is used to fix the solid state hard drive.

[0022] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0023] 1. In the present invention, the solid-state hard drive is quickly cooled by installing the mainboard, mounting slots, solid-state hard drive, fixing holes, heat dissipation shell, support frame, heat dissipation fan, and heat sink. The dust-proof component is then used to prevent dust from entering the heat dissipation shell through the airflow. The dust-proof plate can also be quickly disassembled and cleaned by pulling the handle, thereby improving the efficiency of cleaning the dust-proof plate.

[0024] 2. In the present invention, by pressing the block into the inside of the latch, the heat sink shell loses its fixation, and the heat sink shell can be removed to directly inspect or replace the solid-state hard drive. After completion, the heat sink shell only needs to be directly installed to the original position to automatically complete the fixation, thereby improving the efficiency of inspecting or replacing the solid-state hard drive.

[0037] Specifically, the two dustproof plates 8 are slidably connected to the inside of the heat dissipation shell 5 to prevent dust from entering the inside of the heat dissipation shell 5 through the airflow. A handle 10 is fixed at one end of the dustproof plate 8 for the operator to better pull the dustproof plate 8.
