Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field, and in particular to a light guide structure of a hard disk module. Background Art

[0002] Traditional hard drive indicator lights are placed on the backplane, indicating whether the hard drive is in place or whether it is faulty. However, the indicator lights occupy backplane space, which restricts the layout of other components on the backplane. In addition, on backplanes with complex component layouts, light guides are often required to provide indicator light. However, the alignment of the light guides with the hard drive indicator lights may be inaccurate, resulting in inconsistent indicator brightness. In addition, since the two indicator lights are relatively close to each other on the backplane, light crosstalk may occur during the alignment of the light guides. In addition, the hard drive indicator lights are subject to some restrictions of the backplane layout, which may require the light guides to be made into special shapes, greatly increasing the difficulty and cost of processing the light guides. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The utility model provides a hard disk module light guide structure to solve the problem that the light guide column cannot effectively indicate due to the unreasonable design and layout of the existing hard disk indicator light on the back plate.

[0004] In order to achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solutions:

[0005] In the first aspect, the utility model provides a hard disk module light guide structure, including: a hard disk box, a light guide column, and a hard disk adapter plate. The hard disk adapter plate is connected to the back plate and the hard disk, and is also provided with a hard disk indicator light. The light guide column is arranged on one side of the hard disk box, the hard disk adapter plate is arranged inside the hard disk box, and the hard disk indicator light is opposite to the light guide column.

[0006] Furthermore, the hard disk indicator light is horizontally arranged on the top of the hard disk adapter plate, and the lamp head of the hard disk indicator light exceeds the outer edge of the hard disk adapter plate.

[0007] Furthermore, a first mounting groove for snapping onto the light guide column is provided on one side of the hard disk box.

[0008] Furthermore, the length of the first mounting slot is greater than or equal to the sum of the lengths of the light guide column and the lamp head of the hard disk indicator light exceeding the outer edge of the hard disk adapter plate.

[0009] Furthermore, it also includes a light guide pressure plate, which is provided with a second mounting groove for clamping the light guide column.

[0010] Furthermore, a connecting block for connecting with the hard disk box is provided on the top of the light guide pressure plate.

[0011] Furthermore, the hard disk adapter board is also provided with a hard disk connector and a backplane connector. The backplane connector is provided at one end of the hard disk adapter board, and the backplane connector is provided at the other end of the hard disk adapter board.

[0012] Furthermore, the bottom of the hard disk box is provided with a first mounting hole for installing the hard disk adapter plate, and the hard disk adapter plate is provided with a second mounting hole corresponding to the first mounting hole.

[0013] Furthermore, a third mounting hole for mounting a hard disk is provided at the bottom of the hard disk enclosure.

[0014] Furthermore, a plurality of first heat dissipation holes and second heat dissipation holes are provided on the bottom and side surfaces of the hard disk box.

[0015] Beneficial effects:

[0016] The utility model provides a hard disk module light guide structure. By moving the hard disk indicator light from the back panel to the hard disk adapter plate, more space can be freed up for the back panel, solving the problem of the light guide column being unable to effectively indicate the light due to the layout of the hard disk indicator light on the back panel. The hard disk indicator light and the light guide column are both fixed and do not move relative to each other, solving the problem of low brightness caused by misalignment of the light guide column and the hard disk indicator light. The entire hard disk module becomes an independent standardized module with strong versatility and a wide range of applications, especially in disk array products. The structure of the hard disk adapter plate can more effectively resist impact and vibration and can be applied to reinforced products.

[0017] In the preferred solution, the indicator light is installed horizontally on the top of the hard disk adapter plate, avoiding the design of an irregular light guide column and reducing processing costs. The first installation slot sets the hard disk indicator light opposite to the light guide column, solving the problem of light leakage from the hard disk indicator light.
