Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of solid-state hard disks, and in particular to a solid-state hard disk that is easy to disassemble. Background Art

[0002] A solid-state drive (SSD) is a hard drive made with an array of solid-state electronic memory chips, consisting of a control unit and a storage unit. The interface specifications and definitions, functions, and usage of SSDs are identical to those of traditional hard drives. Their form and size are also identical, but their I / O performance is significantly improved. They are widely used in military, automotive, industrial control, video surveillance, network monitoring, network terminals, power, medical, aviation, and navigation equipment.

[0003] A search revealed that, as described in the published patent "A Solid State Drive Bottom Case, Solid State Drive Housing, and Solid State Drive" with publication number CN214203214U, conventional 2.5-inch solid state drives generally use fasteners such as screws to secure the PCB to the housing. This not only requires additional structures within the housing to cooperate with the fasteners, but also requires dedicated tools to secure the fasteners. This results in a long installation time and cumbersome operation, impacting the production efficiency of the solid state drives.

[0004] For example, as described in the published patent "Mobile Solid-State Drive Box" with announcement number CN220691714U, the existing solid-state drive box requires using screws or clips to fix the motherboard to the box body, and then the box cover is closed on the box body, and then the box cover and the box body are fixed with screws or clips. The installation is time-consuming and labor-intensive, the user operation is inconvenient, and it is difficult to disassemble and repair in the future.

[0005] In summary, existing solid-state drives generally use screws to fix the PCB board and the casing to each other during assembly, resulting in the need to use special tools during installation and removal. The installation is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it is inconvenient to disassemble for maintenance, inspection, and replacement.

[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a new technical solution to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0007] In order to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings, the present invention aims to provide a technical solution that can solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a solid-state hard drive that is easily disassembled, comprising a mainboard, an upper shell, and a lower shell, wherein the mainboard is located in an inner cavity formed by the upper and lower shells, the mainboard has an interface connector, and the upper and lower shells both have an opening for exposing the interface connector to the outside;

[0009] The mainboard is provided with fixing holes at the four corners, a fixing sleeve is provided at the bottom surface of the lower shell corresponding to the position of the fixing hole, a blind hole is provided on the fixing sleeve, and a fixing block is provided on the top surface of the upper shell corresponding to the position of the fixing sleeve, and an insert block is formed on the fixing block that can be plugged into the blind hole, wherein the area of the fixing block is larger than the fixing hole;

[0010] An inserting slot is provided along the periphery of the upper side surface of the lower shell, and an inserting frame corresponding to the inserting slot is provided on the upper shell. A clamping mechanism is provided on both sides of the inserting slot in the length direction.

[0011] As a further solution of the present invention: the clamping mechanism includes a plurality of groups of clamping blocks provided on both sides of the length direction of the plug-in slot, with two clamping blocks forming a group, a partition being connected between the two clamping blocks, a fixing rod being connected to the partition, the fixing rod passing through the lower shell and extending to the outside of the lower shell, a long plate connected to the fixing rod being provided at the side end of the lower shell, and a return spring being provided between a side of the clamping block away from the fixing rod and the plug-in slot;

[0012] A clamping slot corresponding to the clamping block is provided on the plug-in frame, and a yielding slot corresponding to the fixing rod is provided at the lower end of the plug-in frame.

[0013] As a further solution of the present invention: the upper side of the fixing sleeve is flush with the upper side of the mainboard, and after the inserting block is plugged into the blind hole, the lower side of the fixing block is tightly attached to the upper side of the mainboard.

[0014] As a further solution of the present invention: a buffer pad is provided along the edge of the lower side of the fixing block.

[0015] As a further solution of the present invention: the top surface of the card block is inclined, and an inclined notch corresponding to the inclined surface of the card block is formed on the plug-in frame.

[0016] As a further solution of the present invention: both side ends of the lower shell are formed with accommodating notches for accommodating the long board.

[0017] Compared with the existing technology, the beneficial effects of this technical solution are as follows: during the assembly process, not only the upper shell and the lower shell are fixedly connected, but also the mainboard is fixed. During disassembly, the long plates on both sides are pressed toward the middle to separate the card block from the card slot of the plug-in frame, thereby separating the upper shell from the lower shell, making it convenient to remove the mainboard from the lower shell. When the upper shell is removed from the lower shell, the plug block is separated from the blind hole, thereby making it possible to remove the mainboard from the lower shell. No tools are required during the entire assembly and disassembly process, making the operation convenient and easy to perform maintenance.

[0018] 1. During assembly, place the motherboard into the inner cavity of the lower shell, and simultaneously align the fixing holes at the four corners with the fixing sleeves. Then, when closing the upper shell and the lower shell, the inserts of the fixing blocks mate with the blind holes, thereby restricting the up and down movement of the motherboard and fixing it in the inner cavity formed by the upper and lower shells.

[0019] 2. When the upper shell and the lower shell are covered, the plug-in frame of the upper shell is correspondingly embedded in the plug-in slot. During the embedding process, the inclined notch of the plug-in frame is used to abut against the inclined surface of the top of the card block, so that as the plug-in frame continues to be embedded, the card block gradually moves inward. Then, when the plug-in frame is completely embedded, the elastic recovery of the reset spring is used to reset the card block and the long plate, so that the card block is correspondingly engaged with the card slot on the plug-in frame, and then the upper shell and the lower shell are fixedly installed.

[0020] Additional aspects and advantages of the present invention will be given in part in the following description and will become apparent from the following description or learned through practice of the present invention. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0030] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] See also Figure 1-6 A solid-state drive that is easy to disassemble includes a motherboard 1, an upper shell 2, and a lower shell 3. The motherboard 1 is located in an inner cavity formed by the upper shell 2 and the lower shell 3. An interface connector 11 is provided on the motherboard 1. The upper shell 2 and the lower shell 3 both have an opening for exposing the interface connector 11 to the outside. A control chip and a memory chip are mounted on the motherboard 1. When installing the motherboard 1, the motherboard 1 is placed in the cavity formed by the upper shell 2 and the lower shell 3, and the interface connector 11 connected to the device end is exposed to the outside space through the opening of the upper shell 2 and the lower shell 3.

[0032] The main board 1 is provided with fixing holes 12 at all four corners, and a fixing sleeve 4 is provided at the bottom surface of the lower shell 3 corresponding to the position of the fixing hole 12, and a blind hole 41 is provided on the fixing sleeve 4. The top surface of the upper shell 2 is provided with a fixing block 5 corresponding to the position of the fixing sleeve 4, and an insert block 51 is formed on the fixing block 5 that can be plugged into the blind hole 41, wherein the area of the fixing block 5 is larger than the fixing hole 12, and the fixing sleeve 4 can be set to be the same size as the fixing hole 12, so that when the fixing hole 12 and the fixing sleeve 4 are plugged into each other, the main board 1 cannot shake laterally.

[0033] Specifically, during assembly, the mainboard 1 is placed in the inner cavity of the lower shell 3, and the fixing holes 12 at the four corners are correspondingly plugged into the fixing sleeve 4. Then, when the upper shell 2 and the lower shell 3 are covered, the plug 51 of the fixing block 5 is plugged into the blind hole 41. Because the area of the fixing block 5 is larger than the fixing hole 12, the mainboard 1 is restricted by the fixing block 5, thereby limiting the up and down movement of the mainboard 1, and thus the mainboard 1 is fixedly installed in the inner cavity formed by the upper shell 2 and the lower shell 3.

[0034] Preferably, the upper side of the fixing sleeve 4 is flush with the upper side of the mainboard 1, and after the insert block 51 is plugged into the blind hole 41, the lower side of the fixing block 5 is tightly attached to the upper side of the mainboard 1. Through this arrangement, after the insert block 51 is plugged into the blind hole 41, the fixing block 5 can support the mainboard 1 to prevent it from moving up and down, thereby avoiding affecting the normal use of the hard disk.

[0035] More preferably, a buffer pad 52 is provided along the edge of the lower side of the fixing block 5. The buffer pad 52 can be made of rubber, silicone or other materials. After the plug-in block 51 is inserted into the blind hole 41, the fixing block 5 and the buffer pad 52 are pressed against the mainboard 1. The buffer pad 52 can not only reduce the friction between the mainboard 1 and the fixing block 5 and prevent the mainboard 1 from being damaged, but also can use the buffer pad 52 to activate the buffering effect, thereby reducing the damage to the mainboard 1 during vibration.

[0036] The upper side of the lower shell 3 is provided with a plug-in slot 31 along the periphery, and the upper shell 2 is provided with a plug-in frame 21 corresponding to the plug-in slot 31. Both sides of the plug-in slot 31 in the length direction are provided with a clamping mechanism 6;

[0037] The clamping mechanism 6 includes a plurality of groups of clamping blocks 61 provided on both sides of the length direction of the plug-in slot 31, with two clamping blocks 61 forming a group. A partition 62 is connected between the two clamping blocks 61, and a fixing rod 63 is connected to the partition 62. The fixing rod 63 passes through the lower shell 3 and extends to the outside of the lower shell 3. A long plate 64 connected to the fixing rod 63 is provided at the side end of the lower shell 3. A return spring 65 is provided between the side of the clamping block 61 away from the fixing rod 63 and the plug-in slot 31. A through hole connected to the plug-in slot 31 is opened at the side end of the lower shell 3, and the fixing rod 63 can be connected to the long plate by passing through the through hole.

[0038] The plug-in frame 21 is provided with a card slot 22 corresponding to the card block 61, and the lower end of the plug-in frame 21 is provided with a makeshift slot 23 corresponding to the fixing rod 63. The makeshift slot 23 is opened upward from the lower end of the plug-in frame 21, so that the plug-in frame 21 will not be affected by the fixing rod 63 when it is embedded in the plug-in slot 31.

[0039] Specifically, when the upper shell 2 and the lower shell 3 are covered, the plug-in frame 21 of the upper shell 2 is correspondingly embedded in the plug-in slot 31. During the embedding process, the two long plates 64 can be manually pressed toward the middle. The long plates 64 push the card block 61 toward the middle for a certain distance through the fixing rod 63 and the partition 62. Then, after the plug-in frame 21 is completely embedded in the plug-in slot 31, the long plates 64 are released. At this time, the elastic restorability of the reset spring 65 is used to reset the card block 61 and the long plates 64, and the card block 61 is correspondingly engaged and fixed with the card slot 22 on the plug-in frame 21, thereby fixing the upper shell 2 and the lower shell 3.

[0040] Through the above operation, no screws are needed to fix the upper shell 2, lower shell 3 of the solid state drive and the mainboard 1 to the upper shell 2 and lower shell 3. During the assembly process, not only the fixed connection between the upper shell 2 and the lower shell 3 is completed, but also the fixation of the mainboard 1 is achieved, and no tool assistance is required in the entire assembly. At the same time, when disassembly is required, the long plates 64 on both sides are pressed toward the middle to separate the card block 61 from the card slot 22 of the plug-in frame 21, thereby releasing the fixation of the plug-in frame 21 and the upper shell 2, and then the upper shell 2 and the lower shell 3 can be disassembled. When the upper shell 2 is removed from the lower shell 3, the fixing block 5 and the plug-in block 51 are separated from the fixing sleeve 4 and the blind hole 41, so that the mainboard 1 can be taken out from the lower shell 2 for easy maintenance.

[0041] Preferably, the top surface of the clamping block 61 is inclined, and an inclined notch 24 corresponding to the inclined surface of the clamping block 61 is formed on the plug-in frame 21 .

[0042] Specifically, when assembling the upper shell 2 and the lower shell 3, the plug-in frame 21 is inserted into the plug-in slot 31, and the inclined notch 24 of the plug-in frame 21 is used to abut against the inclined surface of the top of the block 61, so that as the plug-in frame 21 continues to be inserted, the block 61 gradually moves inward, so that the plug-in frame 21 can be completely inserted into the plug-in slot 31 without manually pressing the long plate 64. After the plug-in frame 21 is completely inserted into the plug-in slot 31, the reset spring 65 pushes the block 61 into the corresponding slot 22, thereby fixing the upper shell 2 and the lower shell 3.

[0043] More preferably, both side ends of the lower shell 3 are formed with receiving notches 32 for receiving the long plate 64 , and the receiving notches 32 are used to ensure that the existence of the long plate 64 does not affect the flatness of the side ends of the lower shell 3 .

[0044] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as illustrative and non-restrictive, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims, not the foregoing description, and all variations within the meaning and range of equivalents of the claims are intended to be encompassed within the present invention. Any reference sign in a claim should not be construed as limiting the claim to which it relates.
