[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Figure 1This is a top view of the present invention, and in conjunction with... Figures 2-4 As shown, the solid-state drive (SSD) mounting assembly includes a tray 1. A mounting lug 4 is fixed to the side wall of the tray 1, and mounting holes 7 are provided on the mounting lug 4. Screws pass through the mounting holes 7 and are tightened to mount the tray 1 onto the motherboard. A placement groove 2 is provided on the upper surface of the tray 1. At least two support strips 3 are connected to the bottom of the placement groove 2. The two or more support strips 3 are arranged parallel to each other at the bottom of the placement groove 2, supporting the SSD placed in the placement groove 2 from the bottom. The gaps between the support strips 3 facilitate heat dissipation from the lower surface of the SSD. A limiting frame 6 is provided at both ends of the upper surface of the tray 1. An elastic moving structure is provided between the limiting frame 6 and the tray 1. The two limiting frames 6 can move closer or further apart through the elastic moving structure. The opposite sides of the two limiting frames 6 are provided with a through-hole 11. The width of the through-hole 11 is smaller than the thickness of the solid-state drive. After the solid-state drive is placed in the placement slot 2, the terminal of the solid-state drive is facing the through-hole 11. The wiring harness can be connected to the motherboard through the through-hole 11. The small width of the through-hole 11 can prevent the solid-state drive from being moved out of the through-hole 11.

[0026] As described above, when installing a solid-state drive (SSD), the opposing limiting frames 6 can be moved first, then one end of the SSD can be placed inside the limiting frame 6 at one end and aligned with the placement slot 2 before being inserted. Then, the limiting frame 6 at the other end can be placed on the other end of the SSD to restrain it and prevent it from coming off the placement slot 2. No external tools are needed to tighten it with screws, making it convenient and quick. The limiting frames 6, which can be moved closer or further apart, can block both ends of SSDs of different lengths, making it widely applicable.

[0027] Further, see Figures 1-2 As shown, buffer pads 13 are provided on both sides inside the placement slot 2.

[0028] Specifically, by using the buffer pad 13 to contact the solid-state drive, the solid-state drive can be protected and its contact tray 1 can be worn down.

[0029] Secondly, a buffer pad 13 can be set on the inner wall of the limiting frame 6 to further protect the solid-state drive.

[0030] In one specific embodiment of this utility model, see [reference needed]. Figures 1-2 As shown, the elastic movement structure includes:

[0031] Groove 5 is formed on the upper end face of tray 1, and groove 5 is located on both sides of the length direction of placement groove 2;

[0032] Connecting block 9, the top of connecting block 9 is fixed to the bottom of limiting frame 6, and connecting block 9 can move within groove 5;

[0033] Spring 8 is connected between connecting block 9 and the inner wall of groove 5.

[0034] Secondly, in a specific embodiment of this utility model, see [reference needed]. Figures 3-4 As shown, the elastic movement structure also includes:

[0035] The limiting groove 10 is formed on the side wall of the groove 5;

[0036] Limiting block 12 is fixed to the side wall of connecting block 9 and slides in limiting groove 10.

[0037] As described above, when installing a solid-state drive (SSD), first move one end of the limiting frame 6 outward. At this time, the spring 8 is in a compressed state. Then, insert one end of the SSD into the limiting frame 6 on the other side. After that, release the outward-moved limiting frame 6. During the process of the spring 8 returning to its original state, the limiting frame 6 can cover the other end of the SSD, thus blocking and limiting the SSD from both ends without the need to use screws to screw it onto the board.

[0038] When the connecting block 9 moves along the groove 5, the limiting block 12 can move along the limiting groove 10. The limiting block 12 can prevent the connecting block 9 from moving upward, ensuring that the limiting frame 6 moves in contact with the support plate 1. Secondly, it can limit the spring 8 and reduce the occurrence of bending damage.

[0039] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
