[0002] In the field of data storage technology, hard drives are the core storage medium for information. Their stable and reliable installation and fixation are crucial to ensuring data security and system stability. Traditional hard drive fixing methods mostly rely on bolt connections between the hard drive mounting bracket and the hard drive. Although this connection method achieves a stable installation of the hard drive in physical terms, it has exposed a series of problems in actual operation.

[0003] Traditional bolt-fixing methods require technicians to tighten each bolt individually using tools. This not only increases the complexity of the operation but also leads to time-consuming and inefficient disassembly and assembly processes. In scenarios requiring frequent hard drive replacement or maintenance, such as data centers or server rooms, this inefficient method undoubtedly increases labor costs and may even lead to hardware damage due to improper operation. Therefore, we have made improvements and proposed a new hard drive fixing structure. Summary of the Invention

[0029] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention 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 invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0030] As described in the background section, traditional hard drive mounting methods mostly rely on bolt connections between the hard drive mounting bracket and the hard drive. While this method physically ensures a stable installation of the hard drive, it exposes a series of problems in actual operation. Traditional bolt mounting requires technicians to tighten each bolt individually with tools, which not only increases the complexity of the operation but also leads to time-consuming and inefficient disassembly and assembly processes. In scenarios where hard drives need to be frequently replaced or maintained, such as data centers or server rooms, this inefficient disassembly and assembly method undoubtedly increases labor costs and may even lead to hardware damage due to improper operation.

[0031] To solve this technical problem, this utility model provides a hard disk fixing structure, which is used for fixing hard disks.

[0032] For details, please refer to Figures 1-4 The hard drive mounting structure specifically includes:

[0033] The fixed frame 1 has an adjusting component inside. The adjusting component has two first clamping plates 202. The two first clamping plates 202 are fixedly connected to the side of each other. The plug rods 203 are inserted into the screw holes on the side of the hard drive under the drive of the first clamping plates 202 and the adjusting component, so as to fix the hard drive.

[0034] The hard drive fixing structure provided by this utility model, through the setting of the adjusting component and the first clamping plate 202, can clamp the hard drive through the two first clamping plates 202, and directly insert the plug rod 203 into the mounting screw hole on the hard drive, realizing the quick installation and stable fixation of the hard drive. Users can easily complete the installation and removal of the hard drive without the use of tools, which significantly improves the operating efficiency and reduces labor costs. The matching design of the plug rod 203 and the hard drive mounting screw hole improves the operating stability of the hard drive.

[0035] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features and technical solutions in the present invention can be combined with each other.

[0037] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0038] Example 1, please refer to Figures 1-4 A hard drive fixing structure includes a fixing frame 1, within which an adjusting component is provided. The adjusting component has two first clamping plates 202. A plug rod 203 is fixedly connected to one side of each of the two first clamping plates 202 that are close to each other. Driven by the first clamping plates 202 and the adjusting component, the plug rod 203 engages with the screw holes on the side of the hard drive to fix it in place. This application, through the adjusting component and the first clamping plates 202, allows the hard drive to be clamped by the two first clamping plates, and the plug rod 203 can be directly inserted into the mounting screw holes on the hard drive, achieving rapid installation and stable fixing of the hard drive. Users can easily install and remove the hard drive without tools, significantly improving operational efficiency and reducing labor costs. The cooperative design between the plug rod 203 and the hard drive mounting screw holes enhances the operational stability of the hard drive.

[0039] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the adjusting component includes a bidirectional lead screw 2, which is mounted in the fixed frame 1 via bearings. Two first clamping plates 202 are threaded onto the outer surface of the bidirectional lead screw 2. The rotation of the bidirectional lead screw 2 allows the two first clamping plates 202 to move closer or further apart, thereby enabling the two first clamping plates 202 to clamp the hard drive to fix it, or to loosen the hard drive to facilitate its removal.

[0040] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-2As shown, each of the two first clamping plates 202 has a first protective pad 204 fixedly connected to its side that is close to each other. The first protective pad 204 can be made of rubber. The first protective pad 204 can reduce the rigid contact between the first clamping plate 202 and the hard drive, thereby reducing the damage to the hard drive during clamping.

[0041] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, one end of the bidirectional lead screw 2 extends out of the fixed frame 1 and is fixedly connected to a handwheel 201. The handwheel 201 facilitates the rotation of the bidirectional lead screw 2.

[0042] Example 2 further optimizes the hard drive fixing structure provided in Example 1, specifically, as follows: Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, two mounting plates 102 are installed at the bottom of the fixed frame 1, and several supporting protrusions 103 are provided on the top of the mounting plates 102. The supporting protrusions 103 are protruding and can support the hard drive.

[0043] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the bottom of the first clamping plate 202 and the first protective pad 204 are both provided with grooves, and the inner wall of the groove is slidably connected to the supporting protrusion 103. This arrangement can limit the first clamping plate 202 to prevent the first clamping plate 202 from rotating.

[0044] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the mounting plate 102 has several mounting holes 104. The mounting holes 104 are used to cooperate with bolts to install the mounting plate 102. That is, the mounting plate 102 can be fixed to the chassis by passing the bolts through the mounting holes 104.

[0045] Example 3 further optimizes the hard disk fixing structure provided in Example 1 or 2, specifically, as follows: Figures 1-4 As shown, the top of the fixed frame 1 is provided with several first heat dissipation vents 101, and the fixed frame 1, the first clamping plate 202 and the first protective pad 204 are all provided with second heat dissipation vents 4. The setting of the second heat dissipation vents 4 can improve the heat dissipation effect.

[0046] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-2 As shown, a connecting plate 302 is fixedly installed on the top of the first clamping plate 202, and a second clamping plate 3 is fixedly installed on the top of the connecting plate 302. The top of the second clamping plate 3 passes through the first heat dissipation vent 101 and extends to the top of the fixed frame 1. The second clamping plate 3 can be driven to move when the first clamping plate 202 moves. The hard drive placed on the top of the fixed frame 1 can be fixed by the second clamping plate 3.

[0047] The design of this application is compatible with 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch hard drives, which are commonly used sizes in the field. When installing, the 2.5-inch hard drive is placed on top of the mounting bracket 1 and clamped and fixed by the second clamping plate 3, while the 3.5-inch hard drive is placed on top of the supporting protrusion 103 and clamped and fixed by the first clamping plate 202. The design of this application can realize the simultaneous fixing and simultaneous unfixing of the two sizes of hard drives.

[0048] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, a second protective pad 301 is fixedly installed on the side of the second clamping plate 3. The second protective pad 301 can be made of rubber. The second protective pad 301 can reduce the rigid contact between the second clamping plate 3 and the hard drive, thereby reducing the damage to the hard drive during clamping.

[0049] The usage process of the hard drive fixing structure provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0050] Place the 3.5-inch hard drive on top of the support protrusion 103, aligning the insertion rod 203 with the mounting screw hole on the hard drive. Place the 2.5-inch hard drive on top of the mounting bracket 1. Turn the handwheel 201, which drives the bidirectional lead screw 2 to rotate, causing the two first clamping plates 202 to move closer together. The first clamping plates 202 clamp the 3.5-inch hard drive, and the insertion rod 203 is inserted into the mounting screw hole. The first clamping plates 202 drive the second clamping plate 3 to move through the connecting plate 302, so that the second clamping plate 3 clamps the 2.5-inch hard drive.
