Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hard disk technology, specifically to a hard disk structure with waterproof function. Background Technology

[0002] A hard drive, short for hard disk drive, is one of the main storage media in a computer. The C drive, D drive, E drive, etc., that we usually refer to are hard drive partitions. It consists of one or more aluminum or glass platters that rotate at high speed driven by a spindle motor inside the hard drive, storing data magnetically. Rotational speed (RPM) is the speed at which the spindle motor inside the hard drive rotates, which is the maximum number of revolutions the hard drive platter can complete in one minute. Higher RPMs can shorten the average read / write time and actual read / write time of the hard drive, but with the continuous increase in hard drive RPMs, negative effects such as increased temperature and increased wear on the spindle motor also occur.

[0003] A typical hard drive structure usually consists of a casing, platters, read / write heads, a spindle motor, a circuit board, and interfaces. The platters rotate at high speed driven by the spindle motor inside the hard drive. The read / write heads are used for reading and writing data. The spindle motor drives the platter rotation and is the power source for the hard drive's operation. The circuit board connects the hard drive to external devices (such as the motherboard) for data transfer and power supply; it typically contains key components such as the hard drive controller and cache. The interface is used to connect the hard drive to external devices; common interfaces include ATA, IDE, SATA, and SCSI.

[0004] Traditional hard drive structures, under prolonged use, are susceptible to damage if liquids are accidentally spilled on them or exposed to humid environments. This leakage can cause physical damage, leading to read / write malfunctions, and can also cause short circuits in the internal circuitry, ultimately destroying the drive. Some hard drive designs incorporate rubber gaskets, sealants, or other sealing materials on the casing to seal the seams and protect the internal mechanical and electronic components from external interference. This effectively prevents moisture penetration and ensures normal operation. However, even with these methods, if liquids enter the hard drive's interface, they can still cause short circuits and damage related circuitry, as well as disrupt data transmission. Therefore, a waterproof hard drive structure is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a waterproof hard drive structure to solve the aforementioned technical problems that not only cause short circuits and damage to related circuits, but also lead to unstable data transmission.

[0007] (II) Technical Solution

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a waterproof hard drive structure, comprising:

[0009] The hard drive casing and the interface located on the front of the hard drive casing, wherein a sealing soft block is inserted into the inner cavity of the interface and a sealing outer plate is installed on the front of the sealing soft block;

[0010] Side connecting rods are provided on both sides of the sealing outer plate, and the ends of the side connecting rods are provided with fixed seats. Rotating handles are installed on the outside of the fixed seats, and the rotating handles are coaxially connected to the side connecting rods.

[0011] The side mounting boxes are located on both sides of the hard drive housing, with guide rods added to the front of the side mounting boxes. These guide rods extend inward through the outer wall of the side mounting boxes, connecting to a limiting plate. A return spring is fitted onto the surface of the guide rod, and the guide rod is connected to a fixed base. An interface allows the hard drive housing to connect to external devices. Inside the hard drive housing are mechanisms such as platters, read / write heads, a spindle motor, and circuit boards. A rotating handle on the fixed base drives the side mounting rod to rotate, causing the sealing outer plate to move in the same direction as the side mounting rod, aligning the sealing block with the interface. Simultaneously, the return spring in the inner cavity of the side mounting box drives the limiting plate and guide rod to move, causing the fixed base to move with the guide rod, inserting the sealing block into the interface. The sealing outer plate fits tightly against the front end of the interface. This design not only provides protection for the interface, preventing short circuits and damage to related circuits, but also ensures stable data transmission. Furthermore, it prevents dust and other contaminants from entering the interface during daily use, causing poor contact and affecting operation, and facilitates the separation of the interface from the sealing block.

[0012] Preferably, the rotating handle has evenly spaced limit holes on its front side, and a limit post is inserted into the inner cavity of the limit hole, with the limit post connected to the fixed base. After the rotating handle has been adjusted by rotation, the limit post can be inserted into the fixed base along the limit hole, thereby ensuring the stability of the rotating handle after adjustment.

[0013] Preferably, the limiting plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of the side connecting box, and the end of the return spring is tightly fitted to both the limiting plate and the inner wall of the side connecting box. The limiting plate can reciprocate along the inner wall of the side connecting box, while the return spring can drive the limiting plate to move on the inner wall of the side connecting box, and the limiting plate can also compress the return spring.

[0014] Preferably, positioning posts are inserted on both sides of the front of the sealing outer plate, and a fixing plate is installed on the front of the positioning posts. The fixing plate can drive the positioning posts to reciprocate and rotate along the sealing outer plate.

[0015] Preferably, a compression spring is sleeved on the front end of the positioning post, and positioning blocks are installed on both sides of the rear end of the positioning post. The positioning post can ensure connection stability through the compression force of the compression spring, and the positioning post can be connected to the corresponding structure through the positioning blocks.

[0016] Preferably, the sealing block has positioning holes on both sides of its front side, and positioning grooves are formed in the upper and lower parts of the inner cavity of the positioning holes. Side connecting grooves are formed on both sides of the rear end of the inner cavity of the positioning holes. The shape and position of the positioning holes correspond to those of the positioning posts, and the shapes of the positioning blocks correspond to those of the positioning grooves and side connecting grooves. When the outer sealing plate is attached to the sealing block, the fixing plate drives the positioning posts and positioning blocks to enter the interior of the positioning holes and positioning grooves along the outer sealing plate. Then, the positioning posts are rotated so that the positioning blocks correspond to the positions of the side connecting grooves, while simultaneously misaligning the positioning blocks with the positioning grooves. When the fixing plate is released, the compression spring on the outer sealing plate drives the fixing plate and positioning posts to move outward, making the positioning blocks and side connecting grooves fit tightly together. This not only ensures the stability of the connection between the outer sealing plate and the sealing block, but also allows for the individual replacement of the outer sealing plate or the sealing block, thereby reducing usage costs and facilitating the disassembly and assembly of the outer sealing plate and the sealing block.

[0017] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0018] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a hard drive structure with waterproof function, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] This waterproof hard drive structure connects the hard drive casing to external devices via an interface. Inside the casing are the platters, read / write heads, spindle motor, and circuit boards. A rotating handle on a fixed base drives a side linkage, causing the sealing outer plate to move in the same direction, aligning the sealing block with the interface. Simultaneously, a return spring within the side housing moves a limiting plate and guide rod, causing the fixed base to move with the guide rod, inserting the sealing block into the interface. The sealing outer plate fits tightly against the front of the interface. This design not only protects the interface from water seepage and ensures waterproofing, preventing short circuits and damage to related circuits, but also guarantees stable data transmission. It also prevents dust from entering the interface during daily use, avoiding poor contact and other issues, and facilitates the separation of the interface from the sealing block.

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] This utility model provides a technical solution, a hard drive structure with waterproof function, including: (See details) Figure 1 , Figure 2 The hard disk housing 1 and the interface 2 located on the front of the hard disk housing 1, wherein a sealing soft block 4 is inserted into the inner cavity of the interface 2 and a sealing outer plate 3 is installed on the front of the sealing soft block 4.

[0027] Please see Figure 3 Side connecting rod 5 is provided on both sides of the sealing outer plate 3, and a fixing seat 6 is added to the end of the side connecting rod 5. A rotating handle 7 is installed on the outside of the fixing seat 6, and the rotating handle 7 is coaxially connected to the side connecting rod 5.

[0028] Side connecting boxes 11 are located on both sides of the hard disk housing 1. A guide rod 10 is added to the front of the side connecting box 11. The guide rod 10 extends inward through the outer wall of the side connecting box 11 and connects to the limiting plate 12. A return spring 13 is sleeved on the surface of the guide rod 10, and the guide rod 10 is connected to the fixed seat 6. The hard disk housing 1 is connected to external devices through the interface 2. The hard disk housing 1 is equipped with platters, magnetic heads, spindle motors, circuit boards and other mechanisms. The rotating handle 7 drives the side connecting rod 5 to rotate on the fixed seat 6, so that the sealing outer plate 3 moves in the same direction as the side connecting rod 5, aligning the sealing soft block 4 with the interface 2. At the same time, the return spring 13 drives the limiting plate 12 and the guide rod 10 to move in the inner cavity of the side connecting box 11, so that the fixed seat 6 moves with the guide rod 10, inserting the sealing soft block 4 into the interior of the interface 2, and the sealing outer plate 3 fits tightly with the front end of the interface 2. On the one hand, it not only provides protection for interface 2, preventing short circuits and damage to related circuits, but also ensures the stability of data transmission; on the other hand, it not only prevents dust and other contaminants from entering interface 2 during daily use and causing poor contact, but also facilitates the separation of interface 2 from the sealing soft block 4.

[0029] Please see Figure 3 The rotating handle 7 has evenly spaced limiting holes 8 on its front side, and limiting posts 9 are inserted into the inner cavity of the limiting holes 8. The limiting posts 9 are connected to the fixed base 6. After the rotating handle 7 has been rotated and adjusted, the limiting posts 9 can be inserted into the fixed base 6 along the limiting holes 8 to ensure the stability of the rotating handle 7 after rotation and adjustment. The limiting plate 12 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the side connecting box 11, and the end of the return spring 13 is tightly fitted to the limiting plate 12 and the inner wall of the side connecting box 11. The limiting plate 12 can reciprocate along the inner wall of the side connecting box 11, while the return spring 13 can drive the limiting plate 12 to move on the inner wall of the side connecting box 11. At the same time, the limiting plate 12 can squeeze the return spring 13.

[0030] Please see Figure 4Positioning posts 14 are inserted into both sides of the front of the sealing outer plate 3, and a fixing plate 16 is installed on the front of the positioning posts 14. The fixing plate 16 can drive the positioning posts 14 to reciprocate and rotate along the sealing outer plate 3. A compression spring 17 is sleeved on the front end of the surface of the positioning post 14, and positioning blocks 15 are installed on both sides of the rear end of the surface of the positioning post 14. The positioning post 14 can ensure connection stability through the compression force of the compression spring 17, and the positioning post 14 can be connected to the corresponding structure through the positioning blocks 15. Positioning holes 18 are opened on both sides of the front of the sealing soft block 4, and positioning grooves 19 are opened in the upper and lower parts of the inner cavity of the positioning hole 18. Side connecting grooves 20 are opened on both sides of the rear end of the inner cavity of the positioning hole 18. The shape and position of the positioning hole 18 correspond to the positioning post 14, and the shape of the positioning block 15 corresponds to the positioning groove 19 and the side connecting groove 20. After the sealing outer plate 3 and the sealing soft block 4 are attached, the fixing plate 16 drives the positioning post 14 and the positioning block 15 to enter the positioning hole 18 and the positioning groove 19 along the sealing outer plate 3. Then, the positioning post 14 is rotated so that the positioning block 15 corresponds to the position of the side connecting groove 20, and at the same time, the positioning block 15 is misaligned with the positioning groove 19. When the fixing plate 16 is released, the compression spring 17 drives the fixing plate 16 and the positioning post 14 to move outward on the sealing outer plate 3, so that the positioning block 15 and the side connecting groove 20 are tightly attached. This not only ensures the stability of the connection between the sealing outer plate 3 and the sealing soft block 4, but also allows the sealing outer plate 3 or the sealing soft block 4 to be replaced separately, thereby reducing the cost of use, and at the same time facilitating the disassembly and assembly of the sealing outer plate 3 and the sealing soft block 4.

[0031] This solution: The hard drive housing 1 is connected to an external device via interface 2. The hard drive housing 1 contains platters, read / write heads, a spindle motor, and circuit boards. Rotating handle 7 on the fixed base 6 drives the side connecting rod 5 to rotate, causing the sealing outer plate 3 to move in the same direction as the side connecting rod 5, aligning the sealing soft block 4 with interface 2. After the rotating handle 7 has been adjusted, the limiting post 9 can be inserted into the fixed base 6 along the limiting hole 8. Simultaneously, the return spring 13 moves the limiting plate 12 and guide rod 10 within the inner cavity of the side connecting box 11, causing the fixed base 6 to move with the guide rod 10, thus aligning the sealing soft block... 4. Insert into the interior of the interface 2, and the sealing outer plate 3 is tightly fitted to the front end of the interface 2. When the sealing outer plate 3 is fitted to the sealing soft block 4, the positioning pin 14 and the positioning block 15 are driven by the fixing plate 16 to enter the interior of the positioning hole 18 and the positioning groove 19 along the sealing outer plate 3. Then rotate the positioning pin 14 so that the positioning block 15 corresponds to the position of the side connecting groove 20. At the same time, the positioning block 15 is misaligned with the positioning groove 19. When the fixing plate 16 is released, the compression spring 17 drives the fixing plate 16 and the positioning pin 14 to move outward on the sealing outer plate 3, so that the positioning block 15 is tightly fitted to the side connecting groove 20.
