Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hard disk accessories, and in particular to an anti-crushing mechanism for storage hard disks. Background Technology
[0002] Hard drives are an indispensable component of computer systems, used for permanent data storage. As non-volatile storage devices, hard drives can maintain data integrity even when power is off. However, due to their mechanical structure, hard drives are susceptible to mechanical failures, such as damage to platters or actuators. Therefore, in the storage of multiple hard drives, in order to save space, multiple hard drives are usually stacked and protected by anti-crushing mechanisms.
[0003] Basic anti-pinch mechanisms typically use partitions to separate and position multiple hard drives. These partitions can easily come into hard contact with components on the hard drives, causing scratches or even damage, which can affect the lifespan of the hard drives. They also lack elastic protection and have certain limitations.
[0004] In summary, an anti-crushing mechanism for storage hard drives is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0029] Example 1
[0030] Reference Figures 1-5This embodiment provides an anti-crushing mechanism for a storage hard drive, including a storage and protection component 100. The storage and protection component 100 includes a storage box 101 and a hard drive body 102. An inflatable buffer 101c is installed inside the storage box 101. The inflatable buffer 101c includes a mounting frame 101c-1 and an airbag plate 101c-2. An air pump 101c-1a and a hollow shell 101c-1b are respectively installed in the inner cavity of the mounting frame 101c-1. Each of the four corners of c-1b is connected to an air supply pipe 101c-1b1. The surface of the airbag plate 101c-2 is provided with a placement groove 101c-2a. A pressure sensor 101c-2b is fixedly installed on the surface of the airbag plate 101c-2. A fixing seat 101d is fixedly connected to the rear side of the inner cavity of the storage box 101. A fixing rod 101d-1 is fixedly connected laterally to the surface of the fixing seat 101d. A separating tooth 101d-1a is sleeved on the surface of the fixing rod 101d-1.
[0031] Furthermore, the rear side of the mounting frame 101c-1 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the storage box 101, and there are four airbag plates 101c-2, which are distributed at the top and bottom of the inner cavity of the storage box 101 respectively.
[0032] Furthermore, the airbag plate 101c-2 is fixedly connected to the storage box 101 at the connection point, and the number of placement slots 101c-2a is several and evenly distributed on the airbag plate 101c-2.
[0033] Furthermore, the air pump 101c-1a is bolted inside the mounting frame 101c-1, and the air outlet of the air pump 101c-1a is connected to the inner cavity of the hollow shell 101c-1b.
[0034] Furthermore, the end of the gas supply pipe 101c-1b1 away from the hollow shell 101c-1b passes through the mounting frame 101c-1 and communicates with the inner cavity of the airbag plate 101c-2.
[0035] Furthermore, the placement slot 101c-2a is adapted to the hard disk body 102, and the detection end of the air pressure sensor 101c-2b extends into the airbag plate 101c-2.
[0036] Furthermore, the hard drive body 102 is located between the upper and lower airbag plates 101c-2, and a digital display controller 101a is fixedly installed on the top of the storage box 101.
[0037] Furthermore, the surface of the separating tooth 101d-1a is movably connected to the connection point of the fixing rod 101d-1, and a protrusion 101d-1a1 is fixedly connected to the center of the rear side of the separating tooth 101d-1a.
[0038] Furthermore, both the dividing teeth 101d-1a and the protrusions 101d-1a1 are inclined, and the rear end of the protrusions 101d-1a1 extends to the rear side of the storage box 101.
[0039] Furthermore, a protective frame 101b is fixedly connected to the back surface of the storage box 101, and the protrusions 101d-1a1 are located inside the protective frame 101b.
[0040] It should be noted that by setting up the digital display controller 101a, the operator can easily control the operation of the air pump 101c-1a and display the air pressure signal detected by the air pressure sensor 101c-2b. By setting up the mounting frame 101c-1, the requirements for storing and installing the air pump 101c-1a and the hollow shell 101c-1b can be met. By setting up the hollow shell 101c-1b and the air delivery pipe 101c-1b1, multiple airbag plates 101c-2 can be connected to the inner cavity of the hollow shell 101c-1b simultaneously. The system can meet the space requirements for storing and installing the hard drive body 102 by setting the placement slot 101c-2a, and can detect the air pressure inside the airbag plate 101c-2 in real time by setting the air pressure sensor 101c-2b and transmit the signal to the digital display controller 101a by setting the fixing seat 101d and fixing rod 101d-1, and can meet the movable installation requirements of the partition teeth 101d-1a by setting the protrusion 101d-1a1, making it convenient for the staff to drive the partition teeth 101d-1a to rotate.
[0041] In practical applications, the air inlet of the air pump 101c-1a is connected to an external air source through a pipeline. Depending on the actual needs, the type of air source can be carbon dioxide, helium, or argon.
[0042] In practical applications, a sealing door is movably installed on the front side of the storage box 101, and a sealing block is movably installed on the rear side of the protective frame 101b. By setting the protective frame 101b, the movement space requirements of the protrusion 101d-1a1 can be met, and when the sealing block is closed, it can prevent outside air from entering the storage box 101 at will.
[0043] In practical applications, the air pressure sensor 101c-2b is electrically connected to the digital display controller 101a, the air pump 101c-1a, and the digital display controller 101a. The air pressure sensor 101c-2b detects signals and transmits them to the digital display controller 101a for display by staff.
[0044] During use, all components are in their initial state. First, the hard disk body 102 is placed in the upper and lower placement slots 101c-2a. Then, the air pump 101c-1a is controlled to work, and the gas is diverted through the hollow shell 101c-1b and the air supply pipe 101c-1b1 to the four airbag plates 101c-2, so that the airbag plates 101c-2 gradually expand to clamp and position the hard disk body 102. Then, the protrusion 101d-1a1 is driven to rotate the partition teeth 101d-1a around the fixing rod 101d-1. Multiple hard disk bodies 102 are located in the grooves of the partition teeth 101d-1a, which plays a role in preventing tilting.
[0045] In summary, by setting up the inflatable buffer 101c, the fixing seat 101d, the fixing rod 101d-1, and the separating teeth 101d-1a, it has the advantage of elastic protection. It can use the upper and lower airbag plates 101c-2 to store the hard drive body 102. Then, the working air pump 101c-1a injects gas into the airbag plates 101c-2, causing the airbag plates 101c-2 to gradually expand and complete the clamping and positioning of the hard drive body 102, ensuring the safety of storing the hard drive body 102.
