[0027] The hard disk box 4 is detachably connected to the one end of the case shell 1, and the hard disk adapter plate 5 capable of being connected to the mainboard interface 3 is embedded on the hard disk box 4. The hard disk adapter plate 5 is capable of being installed on the hard disk box 4 through bolts, and the hard disk adapter plate 5 is a hardware device for connecting different types of hard disks 2 and computer mainboards or other devices in the prior art. In the technical solution, the hard disk 2 can be inserted into the hard disk adapter plate 5, the hard disk 2 can be connected to the mainboard interface 3 on the mainboard through the hard disk adapter plate 5 on the hard disk box 4, and the fastener 6 capable of being detachably connected to the case shell 1 is arranged on the side of the hard disk box 4 exposed outside the case shell 1. The fastener 6 can fix the hard disk box 4 on the case shell 1, and is used for guaranteeing the stability of the connection between the hard disk 2 and the mainboard. Meanwhile, the fastener 6 is arranged outside the case shell 1, which can give the user enough operation space, so that the user without experience can also easily complete the disassembly and replacement of the hard disk 2.
[0028] Further, as shown in Figure 3 、 Figure 4 , the slide rail 102 is arranged in the case shell 1 along the direction of the insertion of the hard disk adapter plate 5 and the mainboard interface 3, and the guide wing plate 401 capable of sliding along the slide rail 102 is arranged on the hard disk box 4.

In the technical solution, the hard disk 2 can be inserted on the hard disk adapter plate 5 first, then the hard disk adapter plate 5 is installed on the bottom shell 41, and finally the cover plate 42 is installed on the bottom shell 41. The cover plate 42 is made of metal with good thermal conductivity, the above-mentioned heat dissipation grooves 402 can be provided on the cover plate 42, and when the cover plate 42 is installed on the bottom shell 41, the cover plate 42 can also be attached to the hard disk 2, so as to improve the heat dissipation effect of the hard disk box 4.
[0032] Working principle: the hard disk 2 can be installed in the hard disk box 4 through the hard disk 2 connecting plate, without redundant data lines and power lines, and the hard disk box 4 can be inserted into the case shell 1 from the installation port 101 along the slide rail 102 on the case shell 1. In the process, the hard disk adapter plate 5 with the hard disk 2 inserted can be plugged with the mainboard interface 3 on the mainboard, thereby completing the connection of the hard disk 2 and the mainboard. Finally, the hard disk box 4 can be fixed on the case shell 1 by the self-locking screw. During the entire disassembly process of the hard disk 2, any part of the case shell 1 does not need to be removed, and only by loosening the self-locking screw outside the case shell 1, the installation of the hard disk 2 can be completed. When the hard disk 2 needs to be replaced, only the self-locking screw needs to be loosened, and then the hard disk box 4 is pulled out along the slide rail 102, and then another set of hard disk box 4 with other hard disks 2 installed is inserted on the mainboard according to the above sequence. The whole operation is simple and easy to operate, which can effectively improve the efficiency and convenience of replacing the hard disk 2.
