[0038] In one specific embodiment, the storage device 10 includes a housing 13, a storage component 11, and an interface component 12.

The storage component 11 is disposed in the first accommodating space 1323; the interface component 12 is disposed in the second accommodating space and is coupled to the storage component 11.

[0039] In this embodiment, the storage device 11 is an SD card. In some other embodiments, the storage device 11 can also be a CF card, SM card, or other reasonable type of storage structure. The interface device 12 is used to couple with an external device so that the storage device 11 can transmit data with the external device. In this embodiment, the interface device 12 is a Type-C interface device, so that the storage device 10 can be coupled with the Type-C interface widely used in mobile phones, tablets, and other devices. In some other embodiments, the interface device 12 can also be a USB interface device, Lightning interface device, or other reasonable type of interface structure. The housing 13 serves as protection and electromagnetic shielding. The material of the housing 13 can be plastic, copper, iron, aluminum, stainless steel, aluminum alloy, etc. In this embodiment, the two parts of the housing 13 are an integrated structure, which improves the overall integrity of the housing 13 and strengthens the structural strength of the storage device 10. On the other hand, after the housing 13 is integrally manufactured, the storage component 11 and the interface component 12 are directly fixed to the protective part 132 and the interface shell 131 of the housing 13, respectively. This eliminates the need for subsequent welding or other connection methods to fix the protective part 132 and the interface shell 131, simplifying the manufacturing process. Furthermore, the elimination of the need for additional welding or other methods to fix the protective part 132 and the interface shell 131 allows for a thinner and smaller storage device 10. The housing 13 can be manufactured using die casting, stamping, or other methods. In this embodiment, the protective part 132 is rectangular; in some other embodiments, the protective part 132 can also be cylindrical, irregular polygonal, or other shapes.

[0040] Unlike existing technologies, this application provides a storage device 10. This storage device 10 is equipped with an interface 12, enabling it to connect to the interfaces of devices such as mobile phones and tablets for data transmission. Furthermore, the two parts of the housing 13 are integrated into a single structure, resulting in better overall integrity and higher structural strength of the storage device 10, making it less prone to damage. Additionally, the integrated structure of the housing 13 allows for a thinner and smaller storage device 10.

[0041] In some embodiments, the protective part 132 has a first window (not shown) on a first side, and the second side of the protective part 132 is connected to the interface housing 131. The housing 13 also forms a connection port (not shown) connecting the first accommodating space 1323 and the second accommodating space. The interface housing 131 is open-ended and has a second window 1314. The connection port and the second window 1314 are located on opposite sides of the interface housing 131. The interface component 12 passes through the connection port to connect to the storage component 11.

[0042] In this embodiment, the protective part 132 is rectangular, with the first and second sides being two adjacent sides of the protective part 132. In other embodiments, the first and second sides may also be two opposite sides of the protective part 132. In this embodiment, the protective part 132 is rectangular, with the first side of the protective part 132 being a large surface of the rectangle, wherein the entire large surface has a window to facilitate the insertion and fixation of the storage component 11 into the first accommodating space 1323. Further, in this embodiment, the interface housing 131 has a locking structure, and the interface component 12 is fixed within the interface housing 131 by the locking structure. The locking structure may specifically be a locking groove or a buckle. In addition, the interface component 12 may also be fixed within the interface housing 131 by welding, bonding, or other methods. Similarly, the storage component 11 may be fixed in the second accommodating space by bonding, welding, locking, or other appropriate methods. In this embodiment, the interface component 12 is welded to the storage component 11.

[0043] As described above, the protective part 132 can be used to protect the storage component 11, and its structure also facilitates the fixing of the storage component 11. The interface housing 131 can be used to protect the interface component 12 and shield interference.

[0044] In some embodiments, the storage device 11 includes a storage body, one side of which is provided with pins 111, and the other opposite side of the storage body is provided with a metal protective sheet (not shown); wherein, the second side is adjacent to the first side, the protective part 132 has a protective wall located on the opposite side of the first side, the pins 111 are located on the side of the storage body facing the protective wall, and the metal protective sheet is exposed through a first opening.

[0045] A metal protective sheet is disposed on the side of the storage body exposed by the first opening, serving as both a protective element and an electromagnetic shield. The metal protective sheet can be square, circular, or an irregular polygon. In a preferred embodiment, the projected area of ​​the metal protective sheet on the side of the storage body where it is disposed is at least 40% of the surface area, to improve its protective effect. Specifically, the projected area of ​​the metal protective sheet on the side of the storage body where it is disposed can be 40%, 50%, 100%, etc. Furthermore, in this embodiment, pin 111 is disposed on one side of the storage body, located on the side of the storage body closest to the interface member 12.

[0047] In some embodiments, the interface 12 includes a connection terminal 121 that extends from the connection port into the first accommodating space 1323 and is coupled to a pin 111.

[0048] The connection terminal 121 of the interface device 12 is coupled to the pin 111 of the storage device 11, so that the storage device 11 can transmit data with external devices through the connection terminal 121. The connection terminal 121 is connected to the pin 111 by soldering, which ensures high reliability of the coupling between the interface device 12 and the storage device 11.

[0049] In some embodiments, the storage device 10 further includes a heat-dissipating adhesive 14, which connects the storage device 11 to the protective portion 132.

[0050] The heat-dissipating adhesive 14 has adhesive properties and good thermal conductivity. It is used for heat exchange with the storage device 10, thus dissipating heat. The heat-dissipating adhesive 14 also serves to bond and fix the storage device 11. The heat-dissipating adhesive 14 can be disposed on one side of the storage device 11, or it can be disposed on multiple sides of the storage device 11. There can be one or more heat-dissipating adhesives 14. When there are multiple heat-dissipating adhesives 14, they can be spaced apart or connected together.

[0051] As described above, the heat dissipation adhesive 14 can dissipate heat and also fix the storage component 11.

[0052] In one possible implementation, the interface housing 131 is connected to the protective wall and forms a stepped groove 1315. A heat dissipation adhesive 14 is disposed on the protective wall, and the thickness of the heat dissipation adhesive 14 is the same as the height of the stepped groove 1315. The connection terminal 121 is held by the heat dissipation adhesive 14 and the storage unit 11.

[0053] In this embodiment, the heat dissipation adhesive 14 is a sheet structure, and the height of the stepped groove 1315 is the same as the thickness of the heat dissipation adhesive 14, so that after the heat dissipation adhesive 14 is fixed on the protective wall, the inner wall of the interface housing 131 and the heat dissipation adhesive 14 are on the same plane, so that the connection terminal 121 of the interface component 12 can be laid flat on the protective wall, and when the pin 111 of the storage component 11 is coupled to the connection terminal 121, the storage component 11 can be attached and fixed on the heat dissipation adhesive 14.

[0054] As described above, the storage component 11 can be fixed to the protective wall by the heat dissipation adhesive 14, and the storage component 11 and the interface component 12 can be on the same plane, so that the interface component 12 can be coupled to the storage component 11.

[0055] In some embodiments, the heat dissipation adhesive 14 is one or more of the following: thermally conductive silicone grease, metal-based thermally conductive adhesive, graphene composite material, and thermally conductive phase change material.

[0056] In this embodiment, the heat dissipation adhesive 14 is thermally conductive silicone grease. In some other embodiments, the heat dissipation adhesive 14 can also be any one of metal-based thermally conductive adhesive, graphene composite material, or thermally conductive phase change material. In other embodiments, the heat dissipation adhesive 14 can also be any combination of thermally conductive silicone grease, metal-based thermally conductive adhesive, graphene composite material, and thermally conductive phase change material.

[0057] In some embodiments, the housing 13 is a stamped metal housing 13.

[0058] In this embodiment, the integrated housing 13 is manufactured by stamping. The stamped metal housing 13 has good integrity and high strength, which can improve the impact resistance of the storage device 10. In other embodiments, the integrated housing 13 can also be manufactured by die casting.

[0059] In this embodiment, the housing 13 includes a protective portion 132 and an interface housing 131. The storage device 10 has one interface component 12. In other embodiments, the housing 13 may include multiple interface housings 131, and the housing 13 may have interface components 12 disposed within the multiple interface housings 131. The multiple interface components 12 may be of the same or different types, so that the storage device 10 can connect to and transmit data with interfaces of various types of external devices.

[0060] Unlike existing technologies, this application provides a storage device 10. This storage device 10 is equipped with an interface 12, enabling it to connect to the interfaces of devices such as mobile phones and tablets for data transmission. Furthermore, the two parts of the housing 13 are integrated into a single structure, resulting in better overall integrity and higher structural strength of the storage device 10, making it less prone to damage. Additionally, the integrated structure of the housing 13 allows for a thinner and smaller storage device 10.
