Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of hard disk tray devices, specifically a hard disk tray device. Background Technology

[0002] Computers have become an indispensable tool in our daily lives. During computer use, hard drive replacement has become more frequent. Hard drives need to be installed in hard drive brackets. Hard drive brackets, also known as hard drive docks or hard drive mounts, are devices used to install and secure hard drives. They are usually used inside computer cases to ensure the safety and stability of hard drives.

[0003] Existing hard drive trays have limited functionality. When multiple hard drives are installed, the limited space inside the computer case results in poor heat dissipation, which affects the hard drive's operating efficiency to some extent. Therefore, a new hard drive tray device is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a hard disk tray device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A hard drive tray device includes a housing. A mounting groove is formed on the left side of the housing. First limiting grooves are formed on both sides of the mounting groove on the inner side of the housing. A first spring is fixedly connected inside the first limiting groove. One end of the first spring is fixedly connected to a rubber head located inside the first limiting groove. A first heat-conducting plate is symmetrically arranged vertically inside the mounting groove. A second heat-conducting plate is fixedly connected to the right side of the first heat-conducting plate. A second limiting groove located to the right of the mounting groove is fixedly connected inside the housing. Heat dissipation fins located inside the second limiting groove are fixedly connected to the right side of the second heat-conducting plate.

[0007] Preferably, a limiting rod that is fixedly connected to the second heat-conducting plate is connected through the right side of the outer shell. A fixing groove is provided on one side of the limiting rod. A second spring located inside the second limiting groove is provided on the outer side of the limiting rod. A heat dissipation fan located on the right side of the heat dissipation fins is provided on the right side of the outer shell. A fixing strip is provided inside the fixing groove. A hard disk is provided inside the mounting groove.

[0008] Preferably, the mounting groove, the second heat-conducting plate, and the two first heat-conducting plates form a group, and there are three groups of the mounting groove, the second heat-conducting plate, and the two first heat-conducting plates, which are evenly arranged inside the outer shell in an up-down relationship.

[0009] Preferably, the limiting rod and the second spring are a group, and there are twelve groups of the limiting rod and the second spring in total, with four groups forming a large group, and they are arranged symmetrically on the right side of the second heat-conducting plate.

[0010] Preferably, the fixing strip and the two fixing grooves are grouped together, and there are a total of six groups of fixing strips and two fixing grooves. Each pair of groups forms a large group, and there are three large groups in total. They are arranged vertically on the right side of the outer shell.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] 1. In this utility model, the hard drive is installed into the housing through the installation slot, which includes components such as a housing, mounting slot, first heat-conducting plate, second heat-conducting plate, heat dissipation fins, limiting rod, fixing slot, second spring, cooling fan, fixing strip, and hard drive. As the hard drive is installed, it squeezes the second heat-conducting plate and heat dissipation fins into the second limiting slot. At the same time, the second heat-conducting plate also moves the limiting rod. The fixing slot moves to the outside of the housing. Then, the fixing strip is inserted into the fixing slot, and the fixing strip and fixing slot fix the current position of the limiting rod. At this time, the heat dissipation fins and cooling fan are in close contact. The heat dissipated by the hard drive is conducted to the heat dissipation fins through the first and second heat-conducting plates. The cooling fan quickly dissipates the heat from the heat dissipation fins, thereby ensuring the hard drive temperature and preventing high temperature from affecting the hard drive's operating efficiency. This solves the problem that existing hard drive brackets have relatively simple functions, and the limited space inside the chassis results in poor heat dissipation after multiple hard drives are installed, which to some extent affects the operating efficiency of the hard drives.

[0013] 2. In this utility model, when the hard drive enters the mounting slot, the rubber heads on both sides of the hard drive are squeezed. Under the guidance of the first limiting groove, the rubber heads compress the first spring. When the hard drive is fully inserted into the mounting slot, the hard drive is squeezed and fixed by the first spring and the rubber heads. Under the action of the first spring and the rubber heads, the hard drive is fixed in the mounting slot. When it is necessary to remove the hard drive, the corresponding fixing bar is pulled out. Without the limiting bar, the second spring pushes the second heat-conducting plate to move under the guidance of the limiting rod. The hard drive is pushed out of the mounting slot by the second heat-conducting plate, thereby achieving the effect of quick installation and removal of the hard drive. Attached Figure Description

[0023] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0024] A hard drive tray device includes a housing 1. A mounting groove 2 is provided on the left side of the housing 1. A first limiting groove 3 is provided on both sides of the mounting groove 2 on the inner side of the housing 1. A first spring 4 is fixedly connected inside the first limiting groove 3. A rubber head 5 located inside the first limiting groove 3 is fixedly connected to one end of the first spring 4. A first heat-conducting plate 6 is provided inside the mounting groove 2 and arranged symmetrically on the upper and lower sides. A second heat-conducting plate 7 is fixedly connected to the right side of the first heat-conducting plate 6. A second limiting groove 8 located on the right side of the mounting groove 2 is fixedly connected inside the housing 1. A heat dissipation fin 9 located inside the second limiting groove 8 is fixedly connected to the right side of the second heat-conducting plate 7.

[0025] A limiting rod 10, which is fixedly connected to the second heat-conducting plate 7, runs through the right side of the outer casing 1. A fixing groove 11 is provided on one side of the limiting rod 10. A second spring 12 is provided on the outside of the limiting rod 10, located inside the second limiting groove 8. A cooling fan 13 is provided on the right side of the outer casing 1, located on the right side of the heat dissipation fins 9. A fixing strip 14 is provided inside the fixing groove 11. A hard disk 15 is provided inside the mounting groove 2. The mounting groove 2, the second heat-conducting plate 7, and the two first heat-conducting plates 6 form a group. There are three groups of mounting groove 2, the second heat-conducting plate 7, and the two first heat-conducting plates 6, which are evenly arranged inside the outer casing 1 in a vertical relationship. Through the multiple groups of mounting groove 2, the second heat-conducting plate 7, and the two first heat-conducting plates 6, a total of three groups are provided. The mounting slot 2, the second heat-conducting plate 7, and the two first heat-conducting plates 6 can simultaneously cool multiple hard drives 15; the limiting rod 10 and the second spring 12 are a group, and there are twelve groups of limiting rods 10 and the second spring 12 in total, with four groups forming one large group, and they are arranged symmetrically on the right side of the second heat-conducting plate 7. The multiple groups of limiting rods 10 and the second spring 12 can more stably fix the second heat-conducting plate 7 and the hard drive 15; the fixing strip 14 and the two fixing slots 11 are a group, and there are six groups of fixing strips 14 and the two fixing slots 11 in total, with two groups forming one large group, and there are three large groups in total, and they are arranged vertically on the right side of the outer casing 1.

[0026] Workflow: When a hard drive tray device is required, the entire device is powered externally. The hard drive 15 is installed into the housing 1 through the mounting slot 2. The hard drive 15's sides press against the rubber heads 5. Guided by the first limiting slot 3, the rubber heads 5 compress the first spring 4. Once the hard drive 15 is fully inside the mounting slot 2, it is secured by the first spring 4 and the rubber heads 5. Under the action of the first spring 4 and the rubber heads 5, the hard drive 15 is fixed in the mounting slot 2. As the hard drive 15 is installed, it pushes the second heat-conducting plate 7 and the heat dissipation fins 9 into the second limiting slot 8. Simultaneously, the second heat-conducting plate 7 also moves the limiting rod 10. The fixing slot 11 then moves to the outer part of the housing 1. Then... The fixing strip 14 is inserted into the fixing slot 11, and the fixing strip 14 and the fixing slot 11 fix the current position of the limiting rod 10. At this time, the heat dissipation fins 9 will be in close contact with the heat dissipation fan 13. The heat emitted by the hard drive 15 will be conducted to the heat dissipation fins 9 through the first heat conduction plate 6 and the second heat conduction plate 7. The heat dissipation fan 13 will quickly dissipate the heat from the heat dissipation fins 9 to ensure the temperature of the hard drive 15 and avoid high temperature affecting the operating efficiency of the hard drive 15. When it is necessary to remove the hard drive 15, the corresponding fixing strip 14 is pulled out. Without the limiting of the fixing strip 14, the second spring 12 pushes the second heat conduction plate 7 to move under the guidance of the limiting rod 10. The second heat conduction plate 7 pushes the hard drive 15 out of the mounting slot 2, thereby achieving the effect of quick installation and removal of the hard drive 15.
