The "in one embodiment" appearing in various places in the specification does not all refer to the same embodiment, nor does it necessarily refer to a single or particular embodiment, nor is it mutually exclusive with other embodiments.
[0030] Embodiment 1
[0031] Reference Figures 1-3 For the first embodiment of the present application, the embodiment provides a foldable storage hard disk. The foldable storage hard disk comprises a folding assembly 200. The folding of the folding assembly 200 can lengthen the hard disk body 101 when needed, so as to be easily installed in a narrow space, while the folding of the folding assembly 200 can improve the rigidity of the hard disk body 101 as a whole, so as to avoid deformation or damage of the hard disk body 101 due to external force.
[0032] Specifically, the main body component 100 comprises a hard disk body 101, a shell 102, a port 103, a fixing piece 104, a protection piece 105, a limiting piece 106, an unlocking piece 107, and a heat dissipation piece 108. The shell 102 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the hard disk body 101. The port 103 is arranged on one side of the hard disk body 101. The fixing piece 104 is located on one side of the shell 102. The protection piece 105 is located on the other side of the shell 102. The limiting piece 106 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the shell 102. The unlocking piece 107 is arranged on one side of the fixing piece 104. The heat dissipation piece 108 is located on the inner side of the hard disk body 101 and the shell 102.
[0033] The hard disk body 101 and the port 103 are respectively a storage device and a connection interface in the prior art. The shell 102 can use a flexible but strong material, such as a metal alloy or a high-strength plastic, so that the hard disk can be effectively protected even during carrying or transportation.
[0034] The fixing piece 104 is used to fix the unfolded folding assembly 200, so as to prevent the folding assembly 200 from being accidentally loosened and unlocked during use, so as to keep the folding assembly 200 stable in the unfolded state. Conversely, when the folding assembly 200 needs to be folded, the fixing can be released through the unlocking piece 107, so as to facilitate folding and storage. The limiting piece 106 can limit the folding assembly 200 when the folding assembly 200 is in the folded state, so as to prevent it from being opened unintentionally. Meanwhile, the port 103 can be shielded by the protection piece 105 in the folded state of the folding assembly 200, so as to prevent dust from entering.
[0035] The mechanical hard disk generates certain heat during work, and the heat dissipation piece 108 can avoid the temperature of the hard disk body 101 from being too high due to the covering of the shell 102 and the folding assembly 200.
[0036] The folding assembly 200 is arranged on one side of the shell 102 and comprises first supports 201 arranged on both sides of the bottom of the shell 102, the first supports 201 are movably connected to the shell 102 through damping joints 201a, one side of the first support 201 is provided with a second support 202, the second support 202 is movably connected to the first support 201 through the damping joint 201a, one side of the second support 202 is provided with a third support 203, the third support 203 is movably connected to the second support 202 through the damping joint 201a, and the inner side of the third support 203 is fixedly connected with a cross rod 204.
[0037] The three-section support composed of the first support 201, the second support 202 and the third support 203 can flexibly extend the hard disk body 101 when needed, and when the folding assembly 200 is folded, the second support 202 is located on the inner side of the first support 201, and the third support 203 is located on the second support 202, so that the folding volume can be reduced and the occupied space can be avoided, wherein the damping joint 201a can support the adjustment of multiple angles, and different damping settings can make the adjustment of each angle very accurate, so as to meet the diversified use requirements of users, and the damping joint 201a is a prior art and will not be described here.
[0038] Embodiment 2
[0039] Referring to Figures 2-7 As the second embodiment of the utility model, the embodiment is based on the previous embodiment.
[0040] Specifically, the protection piece 105 comprises a protection plate 105a hinged to the other side of the shell 102, one side of the protection plate 105a is fixedly connected with a protection plug 105b, and the protection plug 105b is clamped in the inner cavity of the port 103.
[0041] The protection plate 105a is rectangular and the shape is consistent with the side of the hard disk body 101. When the protection plate 105a is in contact with the side of the hard disk body 101, it is perfectly attached to the side of the hard disk body 101. This design can reduce the gap between the protection plate 105a and the hard disk body 101, effectively avoiding loosening or displacement caused by vibration or external force. The protection plug 105b can be made of silica gel material. When the protection plug 105b is installed in the hard disk port 103, the elasticity of the silica gel material enables the protection plug 105b to be tightly attached to the port 103, increasing the friction with the port 103. This friction tightly holds the protection plug 105b in the port 103, making it difficult to remove, ensuring that the protection plug 105b is not easily removed.
[0042] Specifically, the fixing member 104 includes a sliding groove 104a opened on one side of the first support 201 and the second support 202. The inner wall of the sliding groove 104a is fixedly connected with a spring 104b on one side. The spring 104b is fixedly connected with a fixed block 104c on one side. The other side of the second support 202 and the third support 203 is provided with a clamping groove 104d.
[0043] The caliber of the clamping groove 104d matches that of the fixed block 104c. When the second support 202 and the third support 203 are fully unfolded, the first support 201, the second support 202 and the third support 203 are in a horizontal state. At this time, the spring 104b supports the fixed block 104c, so that the fixed block 104c enters the inner cavity of the clamping groove 104d and is clamped. Thus, the first support 201 can fix the second support 202, and the second support 202 can fix the third support 203, so that they are not easy to loosen.
[0044] Specifically, the fixing member 104 further includes buckles 104e opened on both sides of the bottom of the shell 102. The inner wall of the buckle 104e is fixedly connected with a flexible gasket 104f.
[0045] The caliber of the buckle 104e matches that of the first support 201. When the first support 201 is fully unfolded and in a horizontal state with the shell 102, the first support 201 is clamped in the 104e. At this time, the elasticity of the flexible gasket 104f enables it to be tightly attached to the first support 201, thereby tightly clamping the first support 201 and making it difficult to remove.
[0046] Specifically, the unlocking member 107 includes a through slot 107a opened on one side of the first support 201 and the second support 202. The through slot 107a is in communication with the inner cavity of the sliding groove 104a. The fixed block 104c is fixedly connected with a lever 107b on one side. The lever 107b penetrates the through slot 107a and is movably connected to the inner cavity of the through slot 107a.
[0047] When the second support 202 and the third support 203 need to be folded, the fixed block 104c can be moved by moving the lever 107b, and when the fixed block 104c is away from the clamping groove 104d, the fixing of the second support 202 and the third support 203 is released, at this time the second support 202 and the third support 203 can be folded, wherein the end of the lever 107b exceeds the end of the second support 202 and the third support 203, which can facilitate operation.
[0048] Specifically, the limiting piece 106 includes a limiting block 106a fixedly connected to the bottom of the shell 102, and the limiting block 106a is in the shape of an inverted U.
[0049] The limiting piece 106 matches the caliber of the crossbar 204, and the crossbar 204 can enter the limiting block 106a through the inverted U-shaped opening, at this time the limiting block 106a can limit the crossbar 204 to avoid falling off.
[0050] Specifically, the limiting block 106a is fixedly connected with elastic pieces 106b on both sides of the inner cavity.
[0051] The elastic piece 106b is made of polycarbonate material, and when the crossbar 204 enters the elastic piece 106b, it will be deformed, usually slightly bent, so that the crossbar 204 can smoothly enter, and the shape is not suitable for connection. Once the crossbar 204 completely enters the predetermined position of the elastic piece 106b, the elastic piece 106b will return to the original shape, and the crossbar 204 will be firmly fixed by the elasticity of the material.
[0052] Specifically, the heat dissipation piece 108 includes heat dissipation fins 108a fixedly connected to the inner side of the hard disk body 101 and the shell 102, and the bottom of the shell 102 is provided with a heat dissipation opening 108b, and the heat dissipation opening 108b is fixedly connected with a heat dissipation net 108c.
[0053] The shell 102 arranged at the bottom of the hard disk body 101 will affect the heat dissipation of the hard disk body 101, and the heat dissipation opening 108b is helpful for air circulation, thereby enhancing the heat dissipation effect, and the heat dissipation fins 108a can effectively conduct the heat generated by the hard disk body 101 to the heat dissipation opening 108b, thereby improving the distribution and dissipation speed of heat, and the heat dissipation net 108c can be used to prevent dust or other sundries from entering to affect heat dissipation, thereby avoiding poor heat dissipation.
[0054] Specifically, the surface of the fixed block 104c is in contact with the inner wall of the sliding groove 104a.
[0055] The fixed block 104c matches the caliber of the sliding groove 104a, and when the fixed block 104c moves, the fixed block 104c rubs against the surface of the sliding groove 104a, so that the fixed block 104c is limited, and the second support 202 and the third support 203 are prevented from shaking during movement, thereby ensuring that the second support 202 and the third support 203 are stable when fixed by the fixed block 104c.
[0056] Specifically, the end of the fixed block 104c is arc-shaped.
[0057] The arc-shaped end generally helps to reduce friction, so that the force transmission between the contact surfaces is more uniform, and the fixed block 104c is more easily pushed when the second support 202 and the third support 203 are in contact with the fixed block 104c during unfolding.
[0058] When it is necessary to install the hard disk body 101 in a narrow space, the first support 201 can be rotated by the damping joint 201a, the second support 202 enters the buckle 104e and is fixed by the flexible gasket 104f, then the second support 202 and the third support 203 are rotated in turn under the action of the damping joint 201a, in this process, the second support 202 and the third support 203 will contact the fixed block 104c and push the fixed block 104c to move into the sliding groove 104a, when the second support 202 and the third support 203 are completely unfolded, the fixed block 104c will be aligned with the clamping groove 104d, at this time, the fixed block 104c will enter the inner cavity of the clamping groove 104d under the action of the spring 104b, and the second support 202 and the third support 203 are fixed, the operator can extend according to actual needs, so that the hard disk body 101 can be easily installed in a narrow space, and the heat dissipation effect of the hard disk body 101 can be improved by cooperation of the heat dissipation fin 108a, the heat dissipation port 108b and the heat dissipation net 108c during use of the hard disk body 101.
[0059] When folding is needed, the fixed block 104c can be moved away from the inner cavity of the clamping groove 104d by the lever 107b, so as to release the fixing of the second support 202 and the third support 203, at this time, the second support 202 and the third support 203 can be folded, then the first support 201 can be forced to be taken out from the inner cavity of the clamping buckle 104e and the flexible gasket 104f, the folding of the first support 201, the second support 202 and the third support 203 is realized, until the horizontal rod 204 is fixed in the limiting block 106a and the elastic member 106b, at this time, the first support 201, the second support 202 and the third support 203 are fixed in the folded state, so as to form an integral whole with the shell 102 and the hard disk body 101, thereby the rigidity of the whole hard disk body 101 can be improved, the hard disk body 101 is prevented from being deformed or damaged due to external force, meanwhile, the side surface and the port 103 of the hard disk body 101 can be shielded by rotating the protective plate 105a and the protective plug 105b, thereby dust is prevented from entering and affecting the use of the port 103.
[0060] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, but not limit the present application. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present application can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application, and all of them should be covered in the scope of the claims of the present application.
