Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of expandable disk racks, and in particular relates to an expandable disk rack. Background Art

[0002] A disk refers to a storage device that uses magnetic recording technology to store data. Disk is the main storage medium of a computer. It can store large amounts of binary data and retain data even after a power outage.

[0003] Disks typically need to be secured when in use to prevent damage when the computer is moved. Disks are typically installed in a computer's disk rack, which can only hold a limited number of disks. When a rack is full and needs additional disks, personnel must first install additional disks in the rack. Installing additional disks requires installation tools, which is cumbersome and time-consuming. To address this issue, we propose an expandable disk rack. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an expandable disk rack to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides an expandable disk rack, comprising:

[0006] A disk case, wherein a first plug-in slot is symmetrically provided on the bottom of the disk case, a first plug-in block is symmetrically fixedly installed on the top of the disk case, a second plug-in slot is symmetrically provided on one side of the disk case, a second plug-in block is symmetrically fixedly installed on the other side of the disk case, a plurality of first heat dissipation slots are provided on the top and bottom surfaces of the disk case, a plurality of second heat dissipation slots are provided on both sides of the disk case, and a protective pad is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the disk case;

[0007] A sliding groove 1 is provided in the disk case and is located on one side of the protective pad. A sliding block is slidably installed in the sliding groove 1. The top of the sliding block passes through the top of the sliding groove 1 and extends to the outside. A limiting hole is provided at the bottom of the disk case and below the sliding groove 1. A spring 1 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the sliding block and is fixed to the bottom of the sliding groove 1. A pick 1 is fixedly installed on one side of the sliding block.

[0008] The limiting component is located in the disk box and is used to limit the adjacent disk boxes.

[0009] When the disk drive is fully engaged with the other disk drive, the spring 110 presses the slider upwards to move the top of the slider into the limiting hole at the bottom of the disk drive. The slider can then limit the position of the disk drive to one of the disk drives, thereby combining the two disk drives together. This ensures that multiple disk drives can be combined together, and no tools are required for combination, which is convenient and quick, and can achieve the effect of disk expansion.

[0010] When there is no space on the top of the disk box for combination, the personnel can place one of the disk boxes on the side of the other disk box. At this time, one of the disk boxes will squeeze the limiting component. Then the personnel pushes one of the disk boxes so that the two plug-in blocks 2 on one side of the other disk box are respectively inserted into the two plug-in slots 2 on one of the disk boxes until one of the disk boxes is flush with the other disk box. Under the action of the limiting component, the limiting component can limit one of the disk boxes, thereby combining the two disk boxes together left and right, ensuring that multiple disk boxes can be combined together left and right, and no tools are required during the combination, which is relatively convenient and quick.

[0011] In the above technical solution, further, the limiting component includes:

[0012] A second sliding groove is provided in the disk box and is located on the other side of the protective pad. A rectangular block is slidably installed in the second sliding groove. A second spring is fixedly installed on the top of the rectangular block and is fixedly installed on the top of the second sliding groove. A second paddle is fixedly installed on one side of the rectangular block. A rotating groove is provided at the bottom end of the rectangular block. A limiting block is rotatably installed in the rotating groove. A torsion spring is sleeved on the rotating shaft of the limiting block and is located in the rotating groove. A limiting groove is provided on one side of the disk box and is located between the sliding block and the limiting hole.

[0013] In this technical solution, when there is no space on the top of the disk box for combination, personnel can place one of the disk boxes on one side of the other disk box. At this time, one of the disk boxes will squeeze one end of the limit block, causing the limit block to rotate. The rotation of the limit block will drive the torsion spring to twist. Then the personnel pushes one of the disk boxes so that the two plug-in blocks 2 on one side of the other disk box are respectively inserted into the two plug-in slots 2 on one of the disk boxes until one of the disk boxes is flush with the other disk box. Under the action of the rebound force of the torsion spring, the torsion spring will drive the limit block to rotate until one end of the limit block is stuck in the limit slot. At this time, the limit block can limit one of the disk boxes, thereby combining the two disk boxes together left and right, ensuring that multiple disk boxes can be combined together left and right, and no tools are required during the combination, which is relatively convenient and quick.

[0014] In the above technical solution, further, both ends of the torsion spring are tightly welded to the limiting block and the inner wall of the rotation groove respectively, and one end of the limiting block is snap-fitted with the limiting groove.

[0015] In this technical solution, the structural stability of the torsion spring is ensured, and one end of the limit block is ensured to be able to be stuck into the limit groove.

[0016] In the above technical solution, further, the top end of the sliding block is plugged into the limiting hole, the plug-in block 1 is plugged into the plug-in slot 1, and the plug-in block 2 is plugged into the plug-in slot 2.

[0017] In this technical solution, it is ensured that the top end of the sliding block can be inserted into the limiting hole, that the first plug-in block can be inserted into the first plug-in slot, and that the second plug-in block can be inserted into the second plug-in slot.

[0018] In the above technical solution, further, the limit block has an inclined structure.

[0019] In this technical solution, the structural stability of the limit block is ensured.

[0020] In the above technical solution, further, the plurality of heat dissipation slots are linearly distributed with equal intervals.

[0021] In this technical solution, it is ensured that a plurality of heat dissipation slots can dissipate heat for the magnetic disk.

[0022] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0023] 1. The expandable disk rack can combine multiple disk boxes together in an upper and lower manner through the cooperation of the sliding block, a spring, two plug-in blocks, and two plug-in slots. No tools are required during the combination, which is relatively convenient and quick, and can achieve the effect of disk expansion.

[0024] 2. The expandable disk rack can combine multiple disk boxes together on the left and right sides through the setting of the limit component. Under the cooperation of the limit component, the two plug-in blocks 2 and the two plug-in slots 2, no tools are required during the combination, which is relatively convenient and quick.
