Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of portable hard drive technology, and in particular to a high-speed pluggable solid-state drive enclosure for computers. Background Technology

[0002] With technological advancements, the production cost of solid-state drives (SSDs) has become increasingly lower, leading to their widespread adoption and replacement of traditional hard disk drives (HDDs) as a crucial component of computer hard drives. In the mobile storage field, designing enclosures compatible with new SSDs requires not only convenient installation for users but also compatibility with SSDs of different sizes and specifications, while maintaining low production costs to remain competitive in the market.

[0003] In existing solid-state drive (SSD) enclosures, installing or replacing SSDs typically requires the use of a threading tool, which is inconvenient. To address this issue, patent application number 201922320098.X discloses a novel SSD enclosure, which includes an inner shell, an outer shell, a fixing plate, a movable latch, and a PCB board. The PCB board is fixed to one end of the inner shell via the fixing plate. The inner shell has two latches, and the movable latch is adapted to the latches and can be fixed to the latches. One end of the inner shell has a press-type buckle, and the opening of the outer shell has a U-shaped notch that matches the press-type buckle of the inner shell. The inner and outer shells are fixed together by the buckles.

[0004] However, a thorough reading of the aforementioned patent documents revealed the following problem: during the replacement of the solid-state drive, there was no limiting mechanism for its movable card, which made it easy for the movable card to fall out of the solid-state drive enclosure, potentially causing the movable card to be lost and rendering the solid-state drive enclosure unusable. There is room for improvement in this regard. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a high-speed pluggable solid-state drive enclosure for computers.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A high-speed pluggable solid-state drive enclosure for computers includes a casing, a limiting mechanism, a fixing mechanism, and a solid-state drive.

[0008] A circuit board is fixedly installed inside the casing. A female connector is provided on the circuit board. The solid-state drive is disposed inside the casing and one end is connected to the female connector. A cover plate is snapped onto the casing. A limiting mechanism is disposed on the cover plate and the casing and is connected to the solid-state drive. A connecting plate is fixedly connected to one end of the cover plate and is inserted into the casing. A fixing mechanism is disposed on the casing and is connected to the connecting plate.

[0009] The limiting mechanism includes a slider, a limiting rod, a ring plate, and a limiting block. A sliding groove is provided on the inner side of the cover plate, and a slider is slidably connected in the sliding groove. Through the cooperative design between the housing, cover plate, connecting plate, limiting mechanism, and fixing mechanism, not only is the problem of the existing movable card block easily falling out of the solid-state drive enclosure and causing the movable card block to be lost easily solved, but it also achieves the effect of quick replacement of the solid-state drive and can conveniently limit and fix solid-state drives of different specifications, greatly improving practicality.

[0010] Specifically, a limiting rod is fixedly connected to the slider, and the limiting rod is connected to the solid-state drive (SSD). Multiple limiting blocks are fixedly connected to the housing. One end of the limiting rod is inserted into one of the multiple limiting blocks. A ring plate is fixedly sleeved on the limiting rod, and the ring plate abuts against the SSD. All the multiple limiting blocks are in contact with the SSD. A limiting groove is formed at one end of the SSD, and the limiting rod is adapted to the limiting groove. This is achieved by connecting one end of the SSD to the female connector. The limiting groove at the other end of the solid-state drive corresponds to one of the multiple limiting blocks. Then, the slider on the cover plate is moved to the leftmost end of the cover plate, and one end of the limiting rod is inserted into the slot on the limiting block. At this time, the ring plate and the rubber rings one and two on the limiting block clamp the solid-state drive. At the same time, the limiting rod blocks one end of the solid-state drive, thereby achieving the effect of limiting and fixing the solid-state drive.

[0011] Specifically, the bottom of the ring plate is provided with a rubber ring 1, which is in contact with the solid-state drive. The top of each of the multiple limiting blocks is provided with a rubber ring 2, which is also in contact with the solid-state drive. The rubber ring 1 and the multiple rubber ring 2 work together to prevent damage to the solid-state drive. Each of the multiple limiting blocks has a slot 1 that is adapted to the limiting rod. The multiple limiting blocks correspond to the limiting groove, which facilitates the limiting of the limiting rod. Through the cooperation between the multiple limiting blocks and the limiting rod, the solid-state drives of different specifications can be limited and fixed, improving the applicability and convenience.

[0012] Specifically, the fixing mechanism includes a rigid spring, a spring, a movable plate, and an L-shaped push plate. The housing has a mounting groove, in which a rigid spring is fixedly installed. The rigid spring engages with the connecting plate. A spring is fixedly connected to the rigid spring, with one end of the spring fixedly connected to the housing. During the insertion of the connecting plate into the housing, one end of the connecting plate interacts with the rigid spring, causing the rigid spring to move into the mounting groove on the housing and compress the spring. Then, when the slot on the connecting plate aligns with the rigid spring, the elastic potential energy of the rigid spring and the spring causes the rigid spring to engage with the slot, thereby limiting the position of the connecting plate and thus limiting and fixing the cover plate, preventing the cover plate from detaching from the housing.

[0013] Specifically, a second sliding groove is provided on the housing, and a movable plate is slidably connected in the second sliding groove. An L-shaped push plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable plate. One end of the L-shaped push plate is in contact with the rigid spring. By pushing the movable plate, the movable plate slides to the left in the second sliding groove on the housing. At the same time, the movable plate drives the L-shaped push plate to slide synchronously on the housing, and one end of the L-shaped push plate interacts with the rigid spring, causing the rigid spring to disengage from the slot, thereby releasing the restriction on the connecting plate.

[0014] Specifically, the L-shaped push plate is slidably connected to the housing, and a slot is provided on the top of the connecting plate. The rigid spring piece engages with the slot, and the connecting plate is fixed by the cooperation between the slot and the rigid spring piece.

[0015] Specifically, the circuit board is provided with a second female connector, one end of which penetrates the housing. The second female connector is a Type-C interface female connector, which is used to electrically connect to an external computer. A protrusion is fixedly connected to the housing, and a groove is provided on the cover plate. The groove and the protrusion are fitted together. Through the cooperation between the protrusion and the groove, the cover plate is limited.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] This utility model discloses a high-speed pluggable solid-state drive (SSD) enclosure for computers. Through the cooperative design of the casing, cover, connecting plate, limiting mechanism, and fixing mechanism, it not only solves the problem that the movable card in existing SSD enclosures is prone to falling out and being lost, but also enables quick replacement of the SSD and facilitates the limiting and fixing of SSDs of different specifications, greatly improving its practicality.

[0027] Reference Figure 1-6 A high-speed pluggable solid-state drive enclosure for computers includes a housing 1, a limiting mechanism, a fixing mechanism, and a solid-state drive 4.

[0028] A circuit board 2 is fixedly installed inside the casing 1. A female connector 3 is provided on the circuit board 2. A solid-state drive 4 is installed inside the casing 1 and one end is connected to the female connector 3. A cover plate 6 is snapped onto the casing 1. A limiting mechanism is provided on the cover plate 6 and the casing 1. The limiting mechanism is connected to the solid-state drive 4. A connecting plate 10 is fixedly connected to one end of the cover plate 6. The connecting plate 10 is inserted into the casing 1. A fixing mechanism is provided on the casing 1 and connected to the connecting plate 10.

[0029] The limiting mechanism includes a slider 7, a limiting rod 8, a ring plate 9, and a limiting block 5. A sliding groove is provided on the inner side of the cover plate 6, and the slider 7 is slidably connected in the sliding groove. Through the cooperative design between the housing 1, the cover plate 6, the connecting plate 10, the limiting mechanism, and the fixing mechanism, not only is the problem of the existing movable card block easily falling out of the solid-state drive enclosure and causing the movable card block to be lost easily solved, but it can also achieve the effect of quick replacement of solid-state drive 4, and can also conveniently limit and fix solid-state drives 4 of different specifications, greatly improving practicality.

[0030] In this embodiment, a limiting rod 8 is fixedly connected to the slider 7, and the limiting rod 8 is connected to the solid-state drive 4. Multiple limiting blocks 5 are fixedly connected to the housing 1. One end of the limiting rod 8 is inserted into one of the multiple limiting blocks 5. A ring plate 9 is fixedly sleeved on the limiting rod 8, and the ring plate 9 abuts against the solid-state drive 4. All the multiple limiting blocks 5 are in contact with the solid-state drive 4. A limiting groove is formed at one end of the solid-state drive 4, and the limiting rod 8 is adapted to the limiting groove. The solid-state drive 4 is connected to the female connector 3. Next, the limiting groove at the other end of the solid-state drive 4 is aligned with one of the multiple limiting blocks 5. Then, the slider 7 on the cover plate 6 is moved to the leftmost end of the cover plate 6, and one end of the limiting rod 8 is inserted into the slot on its limiting block 5. At this time, the ring plate 9 and the rubber rings one and two on its limiting block 5 clamp the solid-state drive 4. At the same time, the limiting rod 8 blocks one end of the solid-state drive 4, thereby achieving the effect of limiting and fixing the solid-state drive 4.

[0031] In this embodiment, the bottom of the ring plate 9 is provided with a rubber ring 1, which is in contact with the solid-state drive 4. The top of each of the multiple limiting blocks 5 is provided with a rubber ring 2, which is in contact with the solid-state drive 4.

Each of the multiple limiting blocks 5 is provided with a slot 1, which is adapted to the limiting rod 8. The multiple limiting blocks 5 are corresponding to the limiting slot, which facilitates the limiting of the limiting rod 8. Through the cooperation between the multiple limiting blocks 5 and the limiting rod 8, the effect of limiting and fixing solid-state drives 4 of different specifications can be achieved, which improves the applicability and convenience.

[0032] In this embodiment, the fixing mechanism includes a rigid spring 11, a spring 12, a movable plate 13, and an L-shaped push plate 14. A mounting groove is provided on the housing 1, and a rigid spring 11 is fixedly installed in the mounting groove. The rigid spring 11 is engaged with the connecting plate 10. A spring 12 is fixedly connected to the rigid spring 11, and one end of the spring 12 is fixedly connected to the housing 1. During the insertion of the connecting plate 10 into the housing 1, one end of the connecting plate 10 interacts with the rigid spring 11, causing the rigid spring 11 to move into the mounting groove on the housing 1 and compress the spring 12. Then, when the slot 15 on the connecting plate 10 corresponds to the rigid spring 11, the elastic potential energy of the rigid spring 11 and the spring 12 causes the rigid spring 11 to engage with the slot 15, thereby limiting the connection plate 10 and thus limiting and fixing the cover plate 6, preventing the cover plate 6 from detaching from the housing 1.

[0033] In this embodiment, a sliding groove 2 is provided on the housing 1, and a movable plate 13 is slidably connected in the sliding groove 2. An L-shaped push plate 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable plate 13. One end of the L-shaped push plate 14 is in contact with the rigid spring piece 11. By pushing the movable plate 13, the movable plate 13 slides to the left in the sliding groove 2 on the housing 1. At the same time, the movable plate 13 drives the L-shaped push plate 14 to slide synchronously on the housing 1, and one end of the L-shaped push plate 14 interacts with the rigid spring piece 11, and the rigid spring piece 11 disengages from the slot 15, thereby releasing the restriction on the connecting plate 10.

[0034] In this embodiment, the L-shaped push plate 14 is slidably connected to the housing 1, and the top of the connecting plate 10 is provided with a slot 15. The rigid spring piece 11 is engaged with the slot 15. Through the cooperation between the slot 15 and the rigid spring piece 11, the connecting plate 10 is limited and fixed.

[0035] In this embodiment, the circuit board 2 is provided with a female connector 17, one end of which penetrates the housing 1. The female connector 17 is a Type-C interface female connector, which is electrically connected to an external computer. A protrusion 16 is fixedly connected to the housing 1, and a groove is provided on the cover plate 6. The groove and the protrusion 16 are fitted together. Through the cooperation between the protrusion 16 and the groove, the cover plate 6 is limited.

[0036] Working principle: In use, firstly, connect one end of the solid-state drive 4 to the female connector 3, and align the limiting groove of the other end of the solid-state drive 4 with one of the multiple limiting blocks 5. Then, move the slider 7 on the cover plate 6 to the leftmost end of the cover plate 6, and insert one end of the limiting rod 8 into the slot on its limiting block 5. At this time, the ring plate 9 clamps the solid-state drive 4 with the rubber rings 1 and 2 on its limiting block 5. At the same time, the limiting rod 8 blocks one end of the solid-state drive 4, thereby achieving the effect of limiting and fixing the solid-state drive 4. Moreover, through the cooperation between the multiple limiting blocks 5 and the limiting rod 8, the effect of limiting and fixing solid-state drives 4 of different specifications can be achieved, improving the applicability and convenience.

[0037] At the same time, the cover plate 6 is brought into contact with the housing 1, and the groove on the cover plate 6 corresponds to the protrusion 16 on the housing 1. Then, the cover plate 6 is pushed to the left. During this process, the cover plate 6 slides to the left on the housing 1, and the connecting plate 10 at one end of the cover plate 6 is inserted into the housing 1. The protrusion 16 on the housing 1 is engaged with the groove on the cover plate 6. During the process of the cover plate 6 sliding to the left, the limiting block 5 limits the limiting rod 8, so that the slider 7 slides in the sliding groove on the inner side of the cover plate 6, thereby achieving the purpose of assembling the cover plate 6 and the housing 1.

[0038] During the insertion of the connecting plate 10 into the housing 1, one end of the connecting plate 10 interacts with the rigid spring 11, causing the rigid spring 11 to move into the mounting groove on the housing 1 and compress the spring 12. Then, when the slot 15 on the connecting plate 10 corresponds to the rigid spring 11, the rigid spring 11 engages with the slot 15 due to the elastic potential energy of the rigid spring 11 and the spring 12, thereby limiting the connecting plate 10 and fixing the cover plate 6, preventing the cover plate 6 from detaching from the housing 1.

[0039] When it is necessary to replace the solid-state drive 4, by pushing the movable plate 13, the movable plate 13 slides to the left in the sliding groove 2 on the housing 1. At the same time, the movable plate 13 drives the L-shaped push plate 14 to slide synchronously on the housing 1, and one end of the L-shaped push plate 14 interacts with the rigid spring 11, and the rigid spring 11 disengages from the slot 15, thereby releasing the restriction on the connecting plate 10. Then, the cover plate 6 is pushed to slide to the right on the housing 1, and the connecting plate 10 is disengaged from the housing 1, and the protrusion 16 is disengaged from the groove on the cover plate 6. Finally, the cover plate 6 and the limiting rod 8 are removed, thereby achieving the purpose of disassembling the cover plate 6.

[0040] Then, remove the solid-state drive 4 from the casing 1 and connect another solid-state drive 4 to the female connector 3. Then repeat the above operation to replace the solid-state drive 4.

[0041] The technological advancements of this invention compared to existing technologies are as follows: through the cooperation of various components, it not only solves the problem that the movable card block is prone to falling out of the solid-state drive enclosure and causing the movable card block to be lost, but also enables the rapid replacement of the solid-state drive 4 and facilitates the limiting and fixing of solid-state drives 4 of different specifications, greatly improving practicality.
