Detailed Implementation
[0022] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0023] Please see Figure 1-4In this embodiment of the present invention, a solid-state portable hard drive that facilitates short-circuiting to enter engineering mode includes a housing 10, a hard drive motherboard 20, and an adapter board 30. Both the hard drive motherboard 20 and the adapter board 30 are disposed inside the housing 10, and the hard drive motherboard 20 is connected to the adapter board 30. The adapter board 30 has a USB interface 31 extending out of the housing 10. The hard drive motherboard 20 has an engineering mode short-circuit point 21. The housing 10 has a pressing hole 11, and a short-circuit button 40 is provided at the pressing hole 11. The button 40 is provided with a fixed part 41, an elastic part 42 integrally connected to the fixed part 41, a pressing part 43 integrally connected to the elastic part 42, and a shorting part 44 fixed to the pressing part 43. The fixed part 41 is fixed inside the housing 10. The pressing part 43 is connected to the pressing hole 11, and a pre-break structure is provided between the pressing part 43 and the pressing hole 11 to fix the pressing part 43 before use. The shorting part 44 is connected to the engineering mode shorting point 21 by pressing the pressing part 43.
[0024] The shorting button 40 cleverly solves the problem of unlocking traditional solid-state portable hard drives. By creating a pressing hole 11 on the housing 10 and setting up the shorting button 40, the cumbersome process of disassembling the housing 10 is eliminated, greatly simplifying the operation process of entering engineering mode and saving repair time and effort. The fixed part 41 of the shorting button 40 is installed inside the housing 10, ensuring the stability of the structure; the elastic part 42 provides the button with good elastic feedback. The pressing part 43 is connected to the pressing hole 11, and a pre-break structure is set between the pressing part 43 and the pressing hole 11. This pre-break structure is made of a special brittle material. Under normal conditions, it is tightly connected to the pressing part 43, forming a firm connection and ensuring that the pressing part 43 cannot be easily moved. Only when the user consciously presses the pressing part 43 with force in a repair scenario, and the applied external force exceeds the bearing limit of the pre-break structure, will the pre-break structure be forcibly broken, thereby unlocking the pressing part 43. This design fundamentally eliminates the possibility of accidental shorting of the engineering mode shorting point 21 during daily use due to accidental contact with the pressing part 43, providing reliable protection for the safety and stability of the hard drive during normal use. When card opening is required, simply pressing the pressing part 43 will precisely connect the shorting part 44 to the engineering mode shorting point 21 on the hard drive motherboard 20, eliminating the need for additional tools such as tweezers or metal wires. This reduces the difficulty of operation and the risk of poor contact or circuit damage due to improper tool use, greatly improving the accuracy and success rate of the shorting operation. It provides users with a convenient, efficient, and safe engineering mode shorting solution for solid-state portable hard drives.
[0025] Please see Figure 1-2Based on the above technical solution, the housing 10 further includes an upper cover 12 and a lower cover 13. The edges of the upper cover 12 and the lower cover 13 are fixedly fastened to facilitate the installation of the hard disk motherboard 20 and the adapter board 30. The hard disk motherboard 20 and the adapter board 30 are both installed on the lower cover 13. The shorting button 40 is located on the upper cover 12, and the USB interface 31 is exposed between the front sides of the upper cover 12 and the lower cover 13. The housing 10 is made of metal material, which fully utilizes the high strength and good shielding performance of the metal material. The high-strength metal housing 10 can effectively resist external physical damage such as collisions and compression, protect the internal hard disk motherboard 20 and the adapter board 30, and extend the service life of the hard disk. The good shielding performance can prevent external electromagnetic interference from affecting the data transmission and storage inside the hard disk, ensuring data security and stability. In addition, the metal material helps to conduct heat, providing heat dissipation effect for the solid-state portable hard drive during use. The fixed part 41, the elastic part 42 and the pressing part 43 are made of insulating material, while the short-circuit part 44 is made of conductive material; this can effectively prevent leakage during daily use and short-circuit operation, ensuring the personal safety of users and the normal operation of the internal circuit of the hard drive.
[0026] Please see Figure 3-4 Based on the above technical solution, it is further proposed that an ultrasonic welding is set between the outer side of the pressing part 43 and the inner wall of the pressing hole 11 to form a pre-break structure; the ultrasonic welding makes the two tightly connected, and the pressing part 43 is firmly fixed before sufficient external force is applied, which further eliminates misoperation caused by daily vibration and slight touch, and greatly improves the stability and reliability of the hard drive under normal use. The pressing part 43 has an annular wall 45 along its edge, which abuts against the inside of the housing 10. A sealing gasket 46 is also provided on the annular wall 45, abutting against the inside of the housing 10. This annular wall 45 not only enhances the structural stability between the pressing part 43 and the housing 10 but also provides a suitable base for the installation of the sealing gasket 46. The sealing gasket 46 further improves the product's protective performance, effectively preventing dust, moisture, and other impurities from entering the hard drive through the pressing hole 11, avoiding corrosion or short circuits to the hard drive motherboard 20 and adapter board 30, extending the overall lifespan of the hard drive, and ensuring stable operation in various complex environments. Moreover, this design also optimizes the feel of short-circuiting operations to some extent. When the user needs to perform a short-circuit operation, the stable structure of the pressing part 43 and the cushioning effect of the sealing gasket 46 make the operation smoother and more comfortable, further enhancing the user experience.
[0027] Please see Figure 3Based on the above technical solution, it is further proposed that a snap-fit part 14 and a positioning post 15 for fixing the fixing part 41 are provided inside the housing 10. The fixing part 41 and the positioning post 15 are positioned and engaged, and one side of the fixing part 41 is engaged with the snap-fit part 14. This greatly simplifies the installation process of the short-circuit button 40. During assembly, the installer can quickly and accurately place the fixing part 41 in the predetermined position, which significantly improves the production assembly efficiency. At the same time, the one side of the fixing part 41 is engaged with the snap-fit part 14, and the two are closely connected, making the fixing of the short-circuit button 40 inside the housing 10 more stable and reliable.
[0028] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention.
