DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0041] Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown. This disclosure may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art.
[0042] It should be noted that unless otherwise specified, technical terms or scientific terms used in the present disclosure should be understood as having the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which the present disclosure pertains.
[0043] A server is a high-performance computer system designed specifically for network services, which can provide various services to other computers. The main role of the server is to perform specific tasks in a network environment, such as hosting websites, managing email, storing data, running applications, etc.
[0044] As the server requires more and more hard disks, a certain number of hard disks are placed at the edge and middle positions of the lower layer of the case. Due to the mutual shielding between multiple hard disk modules, when disassembling the hard disks in some positions, the entire hard disk module needs to be disassembled from the case for operation. For example, when plugging in the hard disks at the lower middle position, the cable needs to be unplugged and the entire hard disk module needs to be disassembled from the case for operation, which is quite troublesome.
[0045] To solve the above technical problems, the present disclosure provides an installation structure and electronic equipment, which can more conveniently plug and unplug the hard disks in the case.
[0046] Embodiment 1
[0047] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 An installation structure includes a main body 1 and a rotating mechanism 2. The first side of the main body 1 is provided with an opening 11 for installing a hard disk 6. The second side of the main body 1 is provided with a back plate 13 for connecting the hard disk 6. The second side is opposite to the first side. The rotating mechanism 2 is connected to the second side of the main body 1 to make the first side rotate based on the second side.
[0048] The main function of the main body 1 is to serve as a carrying platform for the hard disk 6 and other internal components, while providing the necessary interfaces and connections so that the hard disk 6 can communicate with the motherboard or other control systems of the server. The main body 1 can be made of metal (such as steel or aluminum) or high-strength plastic to provide sufficient strength and durability. The back plate 13 of the main body 1 is provided with specific interfaces or slots for connecting the data lines and power lines of the hard disk 6. For different types of hard disks 6, there can be different interface configurations. In order to facilitate the plugging and unplugging of the hard disk 6, the main body 1 can also include features such as easy-to-operate latches, sliding rails, rotating mechanisms, etc.
[0049] Specifically, the main unit 1 can be a standard rack-mount main unit 1, suitable for traditional server and storage systems, conforming to the 19-inch rack standard. Multiple hard drive bays can be installed on the main unit 1, supporting hot-swappable hard drives 6. The main unit 1 can also be equipped with a fan module to aid in heat dissipation. Alternatively, the main unit 1 can be a drawer-type main unit 1, with the hard drives 6 housed in a pull-out drawer, similar to an office filing cabinet drawer. Pulling out the drawer provides easy access to the hard drives 6 without disassembling anything, suitable for applications requiring quick replacement of the hard drives 6. The main unit 1 can also be a modular main unit 1, allowing users to add or remove hard drive modules as needed, providing greater flexibility. Modular design helps simplify the upgrade and expansion process. The main unit 1 can also be a direct-insertion main unit 1, with the hard drives 6 directly inserted into the slots of the main unit 1, without the need for additional brackets or supports, suitable for environments with strict space requirements, such as ultra-dense storage solutions. The main unit 1 can also be a tool-free main unit 1, meaning that the hard drives 6 can be installed or removed without the use of screwdrivers or other tools, for example, through a spring-loaded locking mechanism or quick-release clips.
[0050] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the backplane 13 is a key component of the main body 1, serving to connect multiple hard drives 6 to the system's motherboard or other control units. The backplane 13 not only provides physical connections but also handles data transmission and power distribution. Specifically, the backplane 13 provides a high-speed data interface for the hard drives 6, ensuring efficient data exchange with other parts of the system. The backplane 13 can also integrate power distribution functionality, directly providing power to the hard drives 6, simplifying cable management and reducing the number of external power cables. The backplane 13 is fixed inside the main body 1, providing a stable mounting position for the hard drives 6 and ensuring they do not shift due to vibration or impact during operation. Hard drives 6 can be easily added or removed via the backplane 13, supporting hot-swapping functionality, allowing for system maintenance and upgrades without system downtime. The backplane 13 may also contain built-in monitoring circuitry to detect the status, temperature, and fault information of the hard drives 6 and transmit this information to the system management software.
[0051] The opening 11 provides a space for directly placing the hard disk 6, allowing the user to easily insert or remove the hard disk 6 from the main body 1. The opening 11 supporting the hot plug function can also allow the hard disk 6 to be replaced without shutting down the system, improving the availability of the system. The opening 11 can also be provided with a protective structure such as a guide rail, bracket or buckle around it to ensure that the hard disk 6 can be correctly aligned when inserted and will not be displaced during operation due to vibration or impact. The opening 11 can also serve as part of the heat dissipation path, allowing air to circulate and helping the hard disk 6 to dissipate heat. Fans or wind scoops can also be combined to further enhance the heat dissipation effect. The size of the opening 11 must be precisely matched to the type of hard disk 6 used (such as 2.5 inches or 3.5 inches) to ensure that the hard disk 6 can be smoothly inserted and fixed. The shape of the opening 11 can be optimized according to specific needs, such as rectangular, U-shaped or other special shapes, to accommodate different hard disk 6 mounting methods. In order to ensure the stability of the hard disk 6 during operation, the opening 11 can be equipped with a lock or quick release device, allowing the user to safely secure or release the hard disk 6 without tools.
[0052] The rotating mechanism 2 is a key component in the hard disk 6 mounting structure, allowing the main body 1 to rotate around an axis inside the case, thereby simplifying the insertion and removal of the hard disk 6. That is, the main function of the rotating mechanism 2 is to allow the hard disk 6 module to rotate around a fixed axis, so that the user can access the hard disk 6 without completely disassembling the main body 1. Through rotation, the hard disk 6 can be moved from a relatively closed position (such as the middle of the lower layer of the case) to a more easily operated position, reducing maintenance time and complexity. During rotation, the rotating mechanism 2 needs to ensure that the electrical connection between the hard disk 6 and the backplane 13 is not affected. For example, technologies such as long cables or flexible circuit boards can be used to ensure the continuity of data transmission and power supply. In order to prevent the hard disk 6 module from rotating accidentally during normal operation, the rotating mechanism 2 can be equipped with locking or limiting devices. These locking or limiting devices can be manually operated, such as knobs or buttons, or automatic, such as spring-loaded latches. Through rotation, the hard disk 6 module can be accessed without occupying additional space, improving the space utilization of the case interior, especially suitable for high-density storage solutions.
[0053] Specifically, as Figure 1As shown, the rotating mechanism 2 can be fixedly connected to the side wall of the case, supported by the side wall of the case. The bottom of the main body 1 can be provided with a support frame 5, and the bottom of the support frame 5 is provided with support feet to form a gap between the support frame 5 and the bottom of the case. The cables of other hard board mounting frames (such as cables at the edge of the case) can pass through this gap and be connected to the back plate 13 of other hard board mounting frames. The support frame 5 is fixedly connected to the rotating mechanism 2, and the rotating mechanism 2 drives the support frame 5 to rotate and drives the main body 1 to rotate. The side wall of the support frame 5 can also be provided with a plurality of fixed grooves, and the side wall of the case is provided with a plurality of support columns, which are clamped in the fixed grooves to limit the main body 1 to a horizontal position.
[0054] Specifically, the rotating mechanism 2 can be a hinge-type rotating mechanism 2, similar to the hinge of a door. The hard disk 6 module is connected to the main body 1 through the hinge and can rotate around the hinge axis. The hinge can be designed as single-sided or double-sided, depending on the rotation angle and stability requirements. The rotating mechanism 2 can also be a gear-type rotating mechanism 2, which uses gear transmission to achieve the rotation of the main body 1. The gear-type rotating mechanism 2 can provide more precise control and higher load capacity, suitable for scenarios that require larger rotational torque. Gear transmission can also integrate a reduction ratio, making rotation more stable and controllable. The rotating mechanism 2 can also be a combination of slide rail and rotation mechanism, combining slide rail and rotation mechanism, the main body 1 is first pulled out a distance along the slide rail, and then rotated. This way can further increase the operation space, especially suitable for environments with limited space. The slide rail can also provide additional support to ensure the stability of the main body 1 during rotation. The rotating mechanism 2 can also be an electric rotating mechanism 2, which drives the rotation of the main body 1 through a motor, achieving automated operation. Users can control the rotation angle of the main body 1 through buttons or software, improving the convenience and efficiency of operation. The electric rotating mechanism 2 can also integrate sensors and feedback systems to ensure the safety and accuracy of the rotation process.
[0055] More specifically, the appropriate rotation angle can be determined according to actual needs. For example, the rotation angle can be an acute angle, depending on the layout of the main body 1 and access requirements. The rotation angle should be large enough to expose the opening 11 so that users can easily operate the hard disk 6, but not too large to affect the installation and heat dissipation of other components. The rotating mechanism 2 needs to have enough mechanical strength to withstand the weight and operating force of the hard disk 6 module. The choice of material should consider durability and fatigue resistance, for example, the material can be metal (such as steel, aluminum) and high-strength plastic. In order to ensure smooth rotation, the contact surface of the rotating mechanism 2 should minimize friction, for example, bearings, slide rails or other low-friction materials can be used, and lubricants can be added regularly.
[0056] The present disclosure sets a rotating mechanism 2 on the second side of the main body 1, so that the first side of the main body 1 rotates based on the second side, so that the opening 11 of the first side of the main body 1 is exposed to facilitate the insertion and removal of the hard disk 6, so that the hard disk 6 can be conveniently installed or removed without completely disassembling the hard disk 6 module, thereby greatly reducing the operation time and improving the operation efficiency.
[0057] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some modified embodiments of the present disclosure, the rotating mechanism 2 includes a first connecting part 23 and a second connecting part 21. The first connecting part 23 is fixedly connected with the second side of the main body 1, and the second connecting part 21 is rotatably connected with the first connecting part 23 through a rotating part 22. The first connecting part 23 is fixedly connected with the second side of the main body 1, which ensures that the entire rotating system has a stable base point. The second connecting part 21 is connected with the first connecting part 23 through the rotating part 22, which allows the hard disk 6 module to rotate around a predetermined axis. The user can control the rotation angle through manual operation or electric drive.
[0058] The first connecting part 23 is the movable end of the rotating mechanism 2, which is fixedly connected with the second side of the main body 1. It is connected with the second connecting part 21 through the rotating part 22, so as to drive the main body 1 to rotate around a predetermined axis. The first connecting part 23 can be made of high-strength metal (such as steel, aluminum) or durable plastic to ensure that it can withstand the weight and operating force of the hard disk 6 module. When the first connecting part 23 is connected with the main body 1, the interface and connection method with other components should be considered to ensure that it can be seamlessly integrated into the structure of the main body 1, avoiding cable bending during rotation. Specifically, the first connecting part 23 can be connected to one end of the support frame 5 at the bottom of the main body 1.
[0059] The second connecting part 21 is the fixed end of the rotating mechanism 2, which provides a stable foundation for the entire rotating system. The second connecting part 21 is also made of high-strength material to ensure that it can maintain good performance under frequent rotation operations. The second connecting part 21 can be designed to be easily disassembled and maintained for inspection or replacement when needed.
[0060] The rotating part 22 is the core component of rotation, which connects the first connecting part 23 and the second connecting part 21 together and provides the flexibility and stability required for rotation. Specifically, the rotating part 22 includes hinges, bearings, gears, etc., and the specific choice depends on the rotation angle, load capacity and operation requirements. Hinges are suitable for smaller rotation angles, simple structure and low cost. Bearings are suitable for larger rotation angles and higher loads, providing smoother rotation and longer service life. Gears are suitable for occasions that require precise control of the rotation angle, which can achieve higher transmission ratio and better stability.
[0061] In some modified embodiments of the present disclosure, a damper is further included, which is arranged between the first connecting part 23 and the second connecting part 21 for providing a damping force. The damper is a component that can absorb kinetic energy and slow down the relative motion speed. Specifically, the damper can be a hydraulic damper that uses the viscosity of liquid to generate a damping force, which generally has a high damping effect and is suitable for application scenarios that require a large resistance. The damper can also be a pneumatic damper that generates a damping force through gas compression, which has good response speed and long service life, and is suitable for occasions that require fast response and long-term stability. The damper can also be a spring damper that uses the elastic force of a spring to provide a damping force, which has a simple structure and low cost, and is suitable for light load and small angle rotation applications. The damping force of the spring damper is relatively small, and multiple springs can be connected in series or parallel to increase the damping effect. The damper can also be a magneto-rheological damper that uses the influence of a magnetic field on magneto-rheological fluid to generate a damping force. This type of damper can achieve precise damping force control and is suitable for advanced applications that require dynamic adjustment of damping force. The damper can also be a friction damper that generates a damping force through friction between materials. The friction damper has a simple structure and low cost, and is suitable for occasions that require stable damping force. The damping force should be adjusted according to actual needs, which should be large enough to ensure the smoothness and safety of operation, but not too large to affect the convenience of operation. The optimal damping force range can be determined through experiments and tests to ensure ideal performance under different load conditions. The damper should be installed at a suitable position between the first connecting part 23 and the second connecting part 21 to ensure that it can effectively act on the entire rotating mechanism 2. The selection of the installation position should take into account space limitations, heat dissipation requirements, and compatibility with other components.
[0062] The damper can effectively control the rotation speed of the hard disk 6 module, preventing it from rotating too fast due to gravity or other external forces, thereby avoiding impact and damage to the hard disk 6 or connecting cable. This control allows users to operate the hard disk 6 module more smoothly, reducing the occurrence of accidents. By providing appropriate resistance, the damper can keep the hard disk 6 module stable during rotation, avoiding displacement or loose connection of the hard disk 6 due to vibration or sudden movement. Stable rotation also helps to reduce mechanical wear and tear, prolonging the service life of the rotating mechanism 2. The damper can make the rotation operation smoother and more controllable, improving the user's operation experience. Users can feel a moderate resistance, which not only increases the sense of safety during operation, but also makes the entire process more comfortable and intuitive. For environments where hard disk 6 maintenance is frequently performed, this design can significantly improve work efficiency. The damper can be adjusted according to different numbers and weights of hard disks 6 to provide appropriate damping force, ensuring smooth operation under various load conditions.
[0063] In some modified embodiments of the present disclosure, the main body 1 is provided with a guide groove 3, and the guide groove 3 and the rotating mechanism 2 provide guiding support when the first side rotates based on the second side. This arrangement ensures that the hard disk 6 module moves smoothly and accurately during rotation, avoiding problems such as deviation or jamming. The guide groove 3 can be made of materials that are wear-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and have high strength, such as metals (e.g., steel, aluminum) or high-strength plastics. These materials can ensure that the guide groove 3 maintains good performance even under frequent operation. Specifically, the guide groove 3 can be an arc-shaped guide groove 3, which is suitable for larger rotation angles and can provide a smoother rotation path, reducing resistance during rotation. The guide groove 3 can also be a multi-segment guide groove 3, which is suitable for situations that require multi-angle rotation and can achieve more complex motion paths to meet the needs of different application scenarios. Specifically, as shown in Figure 1 The guide groove 3 can be a fixed groove as described above, which is provided with a guide slope near the rotating mechanism side, and the guide slope can be in contact with the support column to provide guiding support for the main body.
[0064] The guide groove 3 guides the movement of the second side during rotation along a predetermined path, ensuring that it does not deviate or jam. This helps to maintain the correct alignment of the hard disk 6 module during rotation and avoids connection problems caused by positional deviation. The rotating mechanism 2 provides the main rotation support and flexibility through the rotating piece 22 between the first connecting part 23 and the second connecting part 21. The guide groove 3 not only provides guidance but also provides additional support for the second side, reducing the burden on the rotating mechanism 2. This dual support design can better distribute the forces during rotation, reduce mechanical wear and tear, and extend the service life of the system. The coordinated action of the guide groove 3 and the rotating mechanism 2 makes the hard disk 6 module more stable during rotation, reducing vibration and impact and improving the reliability of the system. The design of the guide groove 3 can effectively prevent the second side from accidentally coming out of the main body 1 during rotation, ensuring that the hard disk 6 module is always in a safe position, which is particularly important for environments where the hard disk 6 needs to be frequently inserted and removed, providing higher operational safety.
[0065] As Figure 1As shown, in some modified embodiments of the present disclosure, the first side of the main body 1 is provided with a limiting piece 12, which is located below the opening 11. The limiting piece 12 is a mechanical device installed at the end or path of the moving part, which is used to limit its maximum or minimum position, so that the hard disk 6 is installed in a stable and set position of the main body 1. Specifically, the limiting piece 12 can be an elastic limiting piece 12 made of elastic materials such as rubber and springs, which can provide a certain buffering effect while providing limiting function, reduce impact, and is commonly used in occasions that need to absorb impact, such as hard disk 6 module rotating mechanism in data center servers. The limiting piece 12 can also be an adjustable limiting piece 12, the position or angle of which can be adjusted according to actual needs, allowing users to flexibly set the limiting point according to different numbers or layouts of hard disks 6. For example, it can be adjusted by bolts, buckles or other adjusting devices, and is suitable for multi-hard disk 6 storage systems or environments that need to be adjusted according to different hard disk 6 configurations. The limiting piece 12 can also be a hydraulic or pneumatic limiting piece 12, which uses hydraulic or pneumatic principles to provide limiting function, and is usually used in combination with dampers to achieve precise limiting and control, and can adjust the size of limiting force to adapt to different loads and movement speeds, and is suitable for larger movement range and higher load, and is suitable for high-end servers and storage systems, especially occasions that require high precision and high reliability. The limiting piece 12 can also be a magnetic limiting piece 12, which uses the attractive force of a magnet to provide limiting function. When the moving part approaches the limiting point, the attractive force between the magnets will prevent it from continuing to move. The magnetic limiting piece 12 can be non-contact limiting, reducing mechanical wear, and is suitable for occasions that require non-contact limiting, especially in precision instruments. The limiting piece 12 can also be an optical and electrical limiting piece 12, which uses an optical and electrical sensor to detect the position of the moving part and stops it through an electronic signal. This limiting piece 12 is non-contact, has high precision and fast response speed, and is suitable for occasions that require high precision limiting, especially in automated equipment. The limiting piece 12 can be a gear limiting piece 12, which limits the rotation angle of the moving part through gear transmission, and is usually used in combination with the rotating mechanism 2 to achieve precise angle control. It can provide precise angle limiting and is suitable for occasions that require strict control of rotation angle.
[0066] Example 2
[0067] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, an electronic device includes a cabinet 8 having a receiving space and a mounting structure connected with the cabinet 8 in the receiving space, the mounting structure includes a main body 1 and a rotating mechanism 2, the first side of the main body 1 is provided with an opening 11 for mounting a hard disk 6, the second side of the main body 1 is provided with a back plate 13 for connecting the hard disk 6, the second side is opposite to the first side, and the rotating mechanism 2 is connected with the second side of the main body 1 to make the first side rotate based on the second side.
[0068] The cabinet 8 can provide a semi-enclosed receiving space for mounting and protecting internal hardware components. The cabinet 8 is usually made of metal (such as steel or aluminum) and has good mechanical strength and electromagnetic shielding performance. The cabinet 8 is usually equipped with a fan or other cooling device to ensure that the internal components can maintain an appropriate temperature during operation. The design of the cabinet 8 should also consider the air flow path to optimize the heat dissipation effect. The cabinet 8 can be provided with various interfaces (such as power interface, network interface, USB interface, etc.) and expansion slots to facilitate users to connect external devices and expand functions. The specific material and structure of the main body 1 and the rotating mechanism 2 can be the same as described in Embodiment 1, which will not be repeated here. Specifically, the main body 1 can be installed at the lower layer of the cabinet 8, and more specifically, the main body 1 can be installed at the middle position of the lower layer of the cabinet 8, thereby facilitating the rotation of the main body 1.
[0069] The main body 1 is connected to the box 8 by a cable, for example, the cable can be connected to the back plate 13 of the main body 1. The rotating structure can be connected in various ways inside the box 8. Specifically, the second connecting part 21 of the rotating structure can be fixed inside the box 8 using bolts, threaded holes can be provided on the inner wall or bottom of the box 8, and the second connecting part 21 of the rotating structure can be fixed at these positions by bolts. Bolt fixation can provide strong mechanical strength and ensure that the rotating structure remains stable after long-term use. The second connecting part 21 of the rotating structure can also be fixed inside the box 8 using buckles or quick-release devices, which are suitable for situations that require frequent disassembly. Specifically, a card slot or buckle can be provided on the inner wall of the box 8, and the second connecting part 21 of the rotating structure can be equipped with a corresponding buckle structure, which can be fixed by pressing or rotating. The second connecting part 21 of the rotating structure can also be fixed inside the box 8 by a slide rail, allowing it to slide along a predetermined path, which is suitable for situations that require frequent extraction and insertion. Specifically, a slide rail can be provided on the inner wall or bottom of the box 8, and the second connecting part 21 of the rotating structure can be equipped with a corresponding sliding block, which can be fixed by sliding. The guide rail type connection can provide smooth sliding experience and reduce operation resistance. The guide rail can support multi-segment expansion, allowing the rotating structure to be completely extracted for easy maintenance. The guide rail can provide additional support to enhance the stability of the rotating structure. The second connecting part 21 of the rotating structure can also be permanently fixed inside the box 8 by welding, which is suitable for situations that require extremely high mechanical strength and long-term stability. Welding can be performed on the inner wall or bottom of the box 8 to securely fix the second connecting part 21 of the rotating structure at these positions. The second connecting part 21 of the rotating structure can also be fixed inside the box 8 using the attractive force of a magnet, which is suitable for situations that require non-contact connection.
[0070] The present disclosure sets up the rotating mechanism 2 on the second side of the main body 1, so that the first side of the main body 1 rotates based on the second side, so that the opening 11 on the first side of the main body 1 is exposed to facilitate the insertion and removal of the hard disk 6, so that the hard disk 6 can be conveniently installed or removed without completely disassembling the hard disk 6 module, thereby greatly reducing the operation time and improving the operation efficiency.
[0071] In some modified embodiments of the present disclosure, the rotating mechanism 2 includes a first connecting part 23 and a second connecting part 21; the first connecting part 23 is fixedly connected to the second side of the main body 1, and the second connecting part 21 is fixedly connected to the box 8; the second connecting part 21 is rotatably connected to the first connecting part 23 by a rotating piece 22 to rotate the main body 1 relative to the box 8. Specifically, the specific structure and type of the first connecting part 23, the second connecting part 21 and the rotating piece 22 can be the same as described in Embodiment 1, which will not be described here. By designing the rotating mechanism 2 as a first connecting part 23 and a second connecting part 21, and achieving the rotating connection of the two by a rotating piece 22, the flexibility and maintainability of the hard disk 6 installation system can be significantly improved.
[0072] In some modified embodiments of the present disclosure, the main body 1 is provided with a guide groove 3, and the box body 8 is provided with a guide piece 4 corresponding to the guide groove 3. The structure of the guide groove 3 can be the same as that of the first embodiment, which will not be repeated here. The guide piece 4 on the box body 8 cooperates with the guide groove 3 of the main body 1, further enhancing the guiding effect and ensuring that the main body 1 always stays on the correct path during rotation or extraction. The guide piece 4 can also provide additional support during rotation, reducing mechanical wear and extending the service life of the system. Specifically, the guide piece 4 should be made of a material that matches the guide groove 3 to ensure minimal friction between the two. Common materials include metals (such as steel, aluminum), plastics, or elastic materials (such as rubber, springs). The shape and size of the guide piece 4 should be optimized according to the specific design of the guide groove 3 to ensure a tight fit and provide good guiding effect. For example, the guide piece 4 includes rollers, sliders, guide rails, etc. The guide piece 4 is fixed in the box body 8 by bolts to ensure its firmness and reliability and not easy to loosen. For applications requiring extremely high mechanical strength, the guide piece 4 can be permanently fixed to the box body 8 by welding. In cases where frequent adjustment or replacement is required, buckles or quick-release devices can be used to facilitate quick disassembly and assembly of the guide piece 4. The guide piece 4 can be provided with elastic materials (such as rubber, springs) to provide a certain buffering effect, reduce impact force, and protect the hard disk 6 module and other components. The guide groove 3 and the guide piece 4 work together to form a double support mechanism, dispersing the force during rotation and reducing the burden on the rotating mechanism 2. This design can better distribute the force and reduce local stress concentration, improving the overall stability of the system. Specifically, as shown in Figure 1 , the guide groove 3 can be the fixed groove described above, and the guide piece 4 can be the support column described above, which is fixedly connected to the side wall of the box body 8. The guide groove is provided with a guide slope near the rotating mechanism side, which can be in contact with the support column to provide guiding and supporting for the main body.
[0073] As shown in Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 , in some modified embodiments of the present disclosure, the first side of the main body 1 is provided with a limiting piece 12, and the box body 8 is provided with a limiting part 7 adapted to the limiting piece 12, the limiting part 7 includes a first limiting hole 71 and a second limiting hole 72, the first limiting hole 71 and the second limiting hole 72 are distributed along the depth direction of the box body 8, the limiting piece 12 is clamped in the first limiting hole 71, and the main body 1 is in a horizontal state; the limiting piece 12 is clamped in the second limiting hole 72, and the main body 1 is in an inclined state.
[0074] The structure of the limiting member 12 can be the same as that of Embodiment 1, which will not be described here. The limiting part 7 is a key component in mechanical design, which is installed on the box 8 and used to cooperate with the limiting member 12 on the main body 1 to temporarily fix the position of the main body 1. The limiting part 7 should be made of a material that matches the limiting member 12 to ensure minimal friction between the two. The shape and size of the limiting hole should be optimized according to the specific design of the limiting member 12 to ensure a tight fit and provide good limiting effect. Specifically, the limiting hole can be circular, square, oval, etc. More specifically, the first limiting hole 71 is located at the front end or side of the box 8, which is used to fix the limiting member 12 and make the main body 1 in a horizontal state. The position of the first limiting hole 71 ensures that the main body 1 remains stable in the horizontal state and does not tilt or shake. The second limiting hole 72 is located at the rear end or side of the box 8, which is used to fix the limiting member 12 and make the main body 1 in an inclined state. The position of the second limiting hole 72 can ensure that the main body 1 remains stable in the inclined state, which is convenient for users to insert, remove or maintain the hard disk 6. The first limiting hole 71 and the second limiting hole 72 are distributed along the depth direction of the box 8 to ensure that the main body 1 can be stably positioned in different states. This design can also save space and avoid occupying too much surface area of the box 8.
[0075] In some modified embodiments of the present disclosure, the limiting part 7 includes a telescopic sleeve, a connecting rod and a spring. The telescopic sleeve is connected to the side wall of the main body 1 and perpendicular to the side wall of the main body 1. The telescopic end of the telescopic sleeve is arranged on the side of the telescopic sleeve away from the main body 1. The first end of the connecting rod is connected to the telescopic end of the telescopic sleeve and the connecting rod is arranged in the telescopic sleeve. The second end of the connecting rod extends out of the side wall of the main body 1. The spring is sleeved outside the connecting rod and arranged between the first end of the connecting rod and the side wall of the main body 1.
[0076] The telescopic sleeve is a main component of the limiting part 7, which is connected with the side wall of the main body 1 and is perpendicular to the side wall of the main body 1. The telescopic end of the telescopic sleeve is arranged on the side away from the main body 1, allowing the connecting rod to perform telescopic movement inside it. The shape and size of the telescopic sleeve should be optimized according to the specific design of the connecting rod to ensure smooth cooperation between the two. The shape of the telescopic sleeve includes a cylindrical shape, a square shape, etc. The telescopic sleeve provides a stable guide path for the connecting rod, ensuring that it does not deviate or jam during telescopic movement. The connecting rod is the movable part of the limiting part 7, with its first end connected to the telescopic end of the telescopic sleeve and its second end extending out of the side wall of the main body 1. Specifically, the first end of the connecting rod can be connected to the telescopic end of the telescopic sleeve through threads, ensuring that it is firm and reliable and not prone to loosening. The connecting rod can freely slide inside the telescopic sleeve to achieve telescopic function. The connecting rod is responsible for transmitting external force to the spring, causing it to compress or stretch, thereby achieving the clamping and release of the limiting piece 12. When the external force disappears, the connecting rod automatically resets under the action of the spring, returning to the initial position. The second end of the connecting rod extending out of the side wall of the main body 1 can be easily grasped by the user to drive the telescopic sleeve to retract, thereby unlocking the limiting part 7 in the limiting part 7. The spring is sleeved outside the connecting rod between the first end of the connecting rod and the side wall of the main body 1. The function of the spring is to store energy when the connecting rod is pressed down and release energy after the external force disappears, pushing the connecting rod to reset.
[0077] Specifically, as shown in Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 , during use, the rotating mechanism 2 can be installed first, then the back plate 13, after installing the back plate 13, the main body 1 is rotated to an inclined state and the limiting piece 12 is matched with the first limiting hole 71, then the hard disk 6 is inserted; after installing the hard disk 6, the limiting piece 12 and the first limiting hole 71 are unlocked, then the main body 1 is reset to a horizontal state and the limiting piece 12 is matched with the second limiting hole 72.
[0078] The above is only a specific embodiment of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto, any person skilled in the art can easily think of changes or replacements within the technical scope disclosed in the present application, which should be covered within the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
