Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of solid-state drive (SSD) accessory equipment technology, and in particular to a solid-state drive protection device. Background Technology

[0002] Solid-state drives (SSDs) are hard drives that use flash memory chips as their storage medium. SSDs need to be properly placed and protected to prevent physical damage and ensure data security.

[0003] In the prior art, such as Chinese Publication No. CN219085657U, this utility model relates to the field of solid-state drive (SSD) placement technology and discloses an SSD placement device, including a fixed base plate. A contact supply interface is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the fixed base plate. A connecting bolt is provided on the top of the fixed base plate. A connecting display is fixedly mounted on the top of the fixed base plate. A hard drive limiter is fixedly mounted on the top of the fixed base plate. A reactive contactor is fixedly mounted on the top of the fixed base plate. A hard drive cover plate holder is fixedly mounted on the top of the fixed base plate. A hard drive protective cover plate is provided on the top of the hard drive limiter. This SSD placement device improves the stability of the connected hard drive by setting the hard drive limiter. Compared with other methods, the hard drive limiter prevents the hard drive from moving during connection and avoids the need to adjust the hard drive position after installation, thus stabilizing the connection between the motherboard and the hard drive.

[0004] While the above-mentioned solution has the advantages mentioned above, its disadvantages are that it lacks a structure that, when the protective shell and the solid-state drive are subjected to external vibrations, the shock-absorbing damping contraction absorbs the vibrations and the buffer springs deform elastically to cushion the vibrations and the solid-state drive. This results in insufficient shock absorption and cushioning effect on the solid-state drive, and it also lacks heat dissipation for the multiple solid-state drives inside the protective shell, making them prone to damage due to excessive heat. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a solid-state drive (SSD) protection device. This invention is designed with a structure in which, when the protective housing and the SSD are subjected to external vibration and shaking, the shock-absorbing damping contracts to reduce the vibration and shaking of the SSD, while the buffer spring undergoes elastic deformation to buffer the vibration and shaking of the SSD. This improves the shock absorption and buffering effect of the device on the external vibration and shaking of the SSD. It is also designed to dissipate the heat generated by the multiple SSDs inside the protective housing, preventing damage caused by excessive heat generated by the multiple SSDs inside the housing.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a solid-state drive protection device, comprising:

A first motor is fixedly installed on the top of the protective housing. The output shaft of the first motor is fixedly connected to one end face of the adjusting screw. Multiple movable plates are threadedly connected to the outer surface of the adjusting screw. Each movable plate is slidably connected to the guide slides. Multiple shock-absorbing dampers are fixedly installed on the outer surface of each movable plate. Buffer springs are fixedly installed on the outer surface of each shock-absorbing damper. Multiple protective plates are fixedly installed on the top outer surface of each shock-absorbing damper.

This, in turn, moves the multiple shock-absorbing dampers and protective plates until the protective plates contact the surface of the solid-state drive. The protective plates securely protect the solid-state drive. The contraction of the shock-absorbing dampers dampes the vibrations and swaying experienced by the solid-state drive, while the elastic deformation of the buffer springs buffers the vibrations and swaying experienced by the solid-state drive.

[0009] Preferably, each of the support plates has a placement groove on its outer surface, and the outer surface of the protective housing is fixedly provided with multiple hard drive interfaces. The solid-state drive to be protected is placed along the placement groove onto the surface of the support plate and connected to the rear hard drive interface.

The rotation of the two second transmission wheels drives the rotation of the second rotating shafts on both sides.

[0015] Preferably, two fixing brackets are fixedly installed on the inner surface of the protective housing. The two fixing brackets are rotatably connected to the outer surfaces of the two second rotating shafts respectively. Multiple heat dissipation fan blades are fixedly installed on the outer surfaces of the two second rotating shafts. The rotation of the two second rotating shafts drives the multiple heat dissipation fan blades to rotate, thereby dissipating the heat generated by the multiple solid-state drives inside the protective housing.

[0018] 2. In this utility model, the output shaft of the second motor rotates, driving the third shaft and the driving gear to rotate inside the third shaft seat, which in turn drives the driven gear and the first shaft to rotate. This, in turn, drives the second transmission wheels and the two second shafts to rotate through the first transmission wheels and the transmission belt on both sides, thereby driving multiple cooling fan blades to rotate and dissipate the heat generated by the multiple solid-state drives inside the protective housing.

[0025] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0027] Example 1, as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model provides a solid-state drive protection device, including a protective housing 1. Multiple support plates 3 and multiple guide slide rods 5 are fixedly disposed on the inner surface of the protective housing 1. Each guide slide rod 5 is fixedly connected to one of the support plates 3. An adjusting screw 21 is rotatably connected to the inner surface of the protective housing 1. The outer surface of the adjusting screw 21 is rotatably connected to each of the support plates 3. A first motor 2 is fixedly mounted on the top of the protective housing 1. The output shaft of the first motor 2 is fixedly connected to one end face of the adjusting screw 21. Multiple movable plates 22 are threadedly connected to the outer surface of the adjusting screw 21. Each movable plate 22 is slidably connected to one of the guide slide rods 5. Multiple shock-absorbing dampers 23 are fixedly installed on the outer surface of each movable plate 22. Buffer springs 24 are fixedly installed on the outer surface of each shock-absorbing damper 23. Multiple protective plates 25 are fixedly installed on the top outer surface of each shock-absorbing damper 23. The output shaft of the first motor 2 drives the adjusting screw 21 to rotate, causing the multiple movable plates 22 to move along the guide slide 5. This, in turn, causes the multiple shock-absorbing dampers 23 and protective plates 25 to move until the protective plate 25 contacts the surface of the solid-state drive. The protective plate 25 securely protects the solid-state drive. The shock-absorbing dampers 23 contract to dampen the vibrations and swaying of the solid-state drive. At the same time, the buffer springs 24 undergo elastic deformation to buffer the vibrations and swaying of the solid-state drive.

[0028] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 4As shown, multiple support plates 3 have placement slots 4 on their outer surfaces, and multiple hard disk interfaces 20 are fixedly installed on the outer surface of the protective housing 1. The solid-state drive to be protected is placed along the placement slots 4 onto the surface of the support plate 3 and connected to the rear hard disk interface 20.

[0029] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a second motor 8 is fixedly installed on the top outer surface of the protective housing 1, and a third shaft seat 16 is fixedly installed on the top outer surface of the protective housing 1. A third rotating shaft 15 is rotatably connected to the inner surface of the third shaft seat 16. One end face of the third rotating shaft 15 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the second motor 8. The rotation of the output shaft of the second motor 8 drives the third rotating shaft 15 to rotate inside the third shaft seat 16.

[0030] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a drive gear 7 is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the third rotating shaft 15, and a driven gear 14 meshes with the outer surface of the drive gear 7. The third rotating shaft 15 drives the drive gear 7 and the driven gear 14 to rotate.

[0031] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a first rotating shaft 17 is fixedly inserted through the inner surface of the driven gear 14, and two first shaft seats 6 are rotatably connected to the outer surface of the first rotating shaft 17. Both first shaft seats 6 are fixedly connected to the top outer surface of the protective housing 1. The driven gear 14 drives the first rotating shaft 17 to rotate.

[0032] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, first transmission wheels 18 are fixedly installed on both ends of the first rotating shaft 17. Transmission belts 9 are movably connected to the outer surfaces of the two first transmission wheels 18. Second transmission wheels 11 are movably connected to the inner surfaces of the two transmission belts 9. The first transmission wheels 18 on both sides drive the second transmission wheels 11 on both sides to rotate through the transmission belts 9.

[0033] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a second rotating shaft 10 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of each of the two second transmission wheels 11, and a second shaft seat 19 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of each of the two second rotating shafts 10. The rotation of the two second transmission wheels 11 drives the rotation of the second rotating shafts 10 on both sides.

[0034] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, two fixing brackets 12 are fixedly installed on the inner surface of the protective housing 1. The two fixing brackets 12 are rotatably connected to the outer surfaces of the two second rotating shafts 10 respectively. Multiple heat dissipation fan blades 13 are fixedly installed on the outer surfaces of the two second rotating shafts 10. The rotation of the two second rotating shafts 10 drives the multiple heat dissipation fan blades 13 to rotate, thereby dissipating the heat generated by the multiple solid-state drives inside the protective housing 1.

[0035] Working principle: The solid-state drive to be protected is placed along the placement slot 4 onto the surface of the support plate 3 and connected to the rear hard drive interface 20. The first motor 2 is turned on, and the output shaft of the first motor 2 rotates, driving the adjusting screw 21 to rotate. Under the limiting guidance of multiple guide slides 5, the rotation of the adjusting screw 21 drives multiple moving plates 22 to move along the direction of the guide slides 5, thereby driving multiple shock-absorbing dampers 23 and protective plates 25 to move until the protective plate 25 contacts the surface of the solid-state drive. The protective plate 25 securely protects the solid-state drive. When the protective shell 1 and the solid-state drive are subjected to external vibration, the shock-absorbing dampers 23 retract. The system reduces vibrations and tremors to the solid-state drives (SSDs). Simultaneously, the buffer spring 24 undergoes elastic deformation to cushion the vibrations and tremors. The second motor 8 is activated, and its output shaft rotates, causing the third shaft 15 and the drive gear 7 to rotate inside the third shaft seat 16. This, in turn, drives the driven gear 14 and the first shaft 17 to rotate. Subsequently, through the first transmission wheels 18 on both sides and the transmission belt 9, the second transmission wheels 11 on both sides and the two second shafts 10 rotate, which in turn drives multiple cooling fan blades 13 to rotate, dissipating the heat generated by the multiple SSDs inside the protective casing 1.

[0036] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of this utility model without departing from the technical solution of this utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
