[0030] Hereinafter, the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0031] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present embodiment provides a hard disk bracket, comprising:
[0032] A bracket body 1 has a mounting area 5 for mounting a hard disk 7;
[0033] The fixing mechanism comprises a plurality of damping modules 2 arranged in the mounting area 5, and each of the damping modules 2 is connected to a controller in the device where the hard disk 7 bracket is arranged. The damping modules 2 have the functions of expansion and contraction and sensing, and are arranged on both sides of the mounting area 5 to clamp and fix the hard disk 7 and sense the vibration state of the hard disk 7, and feedback to the controller, so that the controller can adjust the expansion and contraction of the damping modules 2 according to the vibration state, and the damping modules 2 can always stably clamp and fix the hard disk 7.
[0034] The mounting area 5 in the embodiment is a groove area with a rectangular cross section, and can also be an area with other shapes, which is preferably matched with the shape of the hard disk 7 to better fix the hard disk 7. The fixing mechanism comprises a plurality of damping modules 2, which are symmetrically arranged on opposite sides of the mounting area 5, i.e. corresponding to the opposite sides of the hard disk 7, to clamp and fix the hard disk 7. The damping modules 2 in the embodiment have the functions of expansion and contraction and sensing, which can sense the vibration of the hard disk 7 and upload it to the controller, so that the controller can control the damping modules 2 based on the vibration state to change the damping state, and then adjust the state of fixing the hard disk 7, so that the hard disk 7 is always fixed relative to the position of the mounting area 5 and is not affected by the vibration of external devices.
[0035] Based on the above, the embodiment has the beneficial effects that the hard disk 7 bracket can have the vibration self-adjusting function by arranging the fixing mechanism, and the damping modules 2 in the fixing mechanism can dynamically adjust the vibration characteristics of the bracket body 1 according to the vibration state of the hard disk 7 to effectively adjust the vibration. This not only improves the stability and reliability of the hard disk 7, but also prolongs the service life of the hard disk 7 and reduces the data loss and damage of the hard disk 7 caused by vibration. In addition, the hard disk 7 bracket in the embodiment has the advantages of simple overall structure, easy implementation, low cost, etc., and is suitable for wide application in various servers.
[0036] In an embodiment, the damping module 2 comprises a damper 3 and a signal line 6 connected with the damper 3 and the controller. The damper 3 has an inductive element 4 for abutting against the hard disk 7, and the inductive element 4 can move towards or away from the hard disk 7 relative to the damper 3. In this embodiment, the hard disk 7 is located in the mounting area 5 and is clamped and positioned in the mounting area 5 by the inductive element 4 of each damper 3. Moreover, in addition to the fixing function of the hard disk 7, the inductive element 4 in this embodiment can also monitor the vibration state of the hard disk 7 in real time and upload it to the controller. After receiving the instruction from the controller, the inductive element 4 can respond to the instruction to cooperatively complete the vibration adjustment of the hard disk 7, not only consuming the vibration energy of the hard disk 7, but also providing more stable clamping force for the hard disk 7 to ensure the position of the hard disk 7 relative to the rotation of the area is fixed.
[0037] The inductive element 4 is connected with the signal line 6 for transmitting the sensed vibration information of the hard disk 7 to the controller through the data line. In this embodiment, the inductive element 4 is connected with the damper 3 through an adjusting element capable of changing the length and stiffness, and then moves towards or away from the hard disk 7 through the adjusting element. That is, the adjusting element is used for supporting the inductive element 4 by the damper 3 body to realize the connection of the two. The specific structure and type of the adjusting element are not limited as long as the length and stiffness can be changed.
[0038] The adjusting element is connected with the controller through the signal line 6 to change the length and stiffness according to the control of the controller. Specifically, the adjusting element in this embodiment is an elastic element, which can change the stiffness according to the electrical signal transmitted by the controller. The inductive element 4 is in the shape of a column, that is, an inductive column, and of course can also be in other shapes. The elastic element can present different stiffness and different length in the stretching direction according to the electrical control of the controller, and the stiffness and length of the elastic element in different dampers 3 can be the same or different, which is specifically determined by the controller according to the different sensing data provided by different inductive elements 4.
[0039] In this embodiment, the damping module 2 is at least four and is symmetrically arranged on opposite sides of the mounting area 5. For example, as shown in Figure 2 , two damping modules 2 are arranged on each side of the bracket body 1 to ensure that the fixing and vibration sensing of the hard disk 7 are in the optimal state, and the vibration adjustment can be more sensitive and accurate.
[0040] The controller controls the principle that the damping consumes energy in the vibration system when controlling. When the damping coefficient is small, the vibration decays slowly, and the system will produce more obvious vibration. For example, in a weak damping pendulum system, the pendulum will swing back and forth near the equilibrium position many times, and the amplitude will slowly decrease. In this case, if you want to reduce vibration, you may need to take active control strategies, such as applying a force opposite to the direction of vibration to speed up the decay of vibration. When the damping coefficient is large, the vibration will quickly decay. For example, the damping system of the car has a large damping coefficient, which can make the car quickly return to a stable state after encountering bumps. If you want to extend the vibration time, such as in some devices that use vibration to screen particle size, you need to reduce the damping coefficient.
[0041] For example, the controller determines the current force state of the hard disk 7 according to the sensing data of the different damping modules 2. Based on this, the controller adjusts the damping state of the different damping modules 2, so that the elastic elements have different lengths and stiffness, and then the different directions of the hard disk 7 are subjected to different forces. Adjust the position of the hard disk 7 relative to the mounting area 5, so that the hard disk 7 is fixed relative to the mounting area 5, and always maintains the relative position, only to ensure that the hard disk 7 will not be displaced due to equipment vibration, collision, etc.
[0042] The utility model discloses another embodiment simultaneously provides an electronic device, including hard disk and be used for installing the hard disk as the hard disk support of any one embodiment in the above. For example, the electronic device is a server, and the hard disk support with the vibration self-adjusting function is installed into the server. By continuously adjusting the vibration strategy, it is ensured that the hard disk always operates in the best state.
[0043] The above embodiments are only exemplary embodiments of the utility model and are not used to limit the utility model, and the protection scope of the utility model is defined by the claims. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications or equivalent replacements to the utility model within the spirit and protection scope of the utility model, and such modification or equivalent replacement should also be regarded as falling within the protection scope of the utility model.
