Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hard disk testing technology, specifically to a testing device for computer hard disks. Background Technology

[0002] Hard drives are the most important data storage components in servers. To improve the system's ability to recover in time during disasters and to enhance its scalability and ease of use, modern hard drives generally have hot-swappable functionality. Hot-swappable means hot-swapping, which allows users to replace a failed hard drive while the system is running. Before a hard drive leaves the factory or is installed, it needs to undergo thorough hot-swappable testing to check whether the hot-swappable function is effective.

[0003] Current hot-swap tests mostly use manual methods to align the hard drive's gold fingers with the test platform. This manual method requires subjective judgment of the mating position between the test platform and the gold fingers, and the two contact surfaces are moved back and forth to make them fit together. The accuracy of subjective judgment is low, and the back-and-forth movement may damage the gold fingers or the conductive pads on the surface of the test platform.

[0004] Therefore, in view of this, the present invention proposes a testing device for computer hard drives to make up for and improve the deficiencies of the prior art. Utility Model Content

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a testing device for computer hard drives, including a testing box, a testing platform fixedly installed on the inner wall of the testing box, and a hard drive body disposed inside the testing box. The testing device for computer hard drives includes:

[0006] Support plates are provided, and multiple support plates are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the test box at equal intervals.

[0007] The plug-in assembly is located between the test box and the hard drive body. The plug-in assembly is used to support multiple hard drive bodies with multiple support plates, and to control the multiple hard drive bodies to move synchronously toward the test platform for insertion and removal.

[0008] A pull-out component is positioned between the plug-in / plug-out component and the hard drive body, and is used to pull the hard drive body away from the test box.

[0009] Preferably, the plug-in assembly includes a support tray that is slidably connected between the test box and the support plate. Blocks are fixedly connected to all four sides of the support tray, a baffle is fixedly connected to the top surface of the support tray, and a magnetic block is fixedly connected to the end face of the baffle near the hard drive body.

[0010] Preferably, the plug-in assembly also includes a support frame fixedly connected to the outer surface of the test box, a threaded rod rotatably connected to the center of the support frame, a movable block threadedly connected to the outer surface of the threaded rod, and the movable block fixedly connected to the carrier tray.

[0011] Preferably, the plug-in assembly also includes a motor fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the test box, and the output end of the motor is fixedly connected to the threaded rod.

[0012] Preferably, the pull assembly includes a transfer slot formed on the support tray, a transfer plate slidably connected to the transfer slot, and a pull-out bracket fixedly connected to the bottom end of the transfer plate.

[0013] Preferably, the pull-out assembly also includes a support rod fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the support tray, and the support rod is slidably connected to the pull-out bracket, with a spring slidably connected to the outer surface of the support rod.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] This utility model, through its plug-in / plug-out assembly, can not only limit the hard drive body by using the baffle and blocking block fixedly connected on the support tray, but also control the rotation direction of the threaded rod so that the moving block can carry the hard drive body placed on the support tray to move synchronously and accurately towards the test plug-in table for insertion and removal. It can also perform synchronous testing on multiple hard drives at the same time, which not only improves the testing accuracy of the device to prevent damage, but also improves the testing efficiency of the device.

[0016] This invention, through its pull-out component, allows personnel to pull the pull-out bracket outwards from the test box, thereby triggering a shift plate to move the hard drive body placed on the support tray out of the test box. The spring returns the plate to its original position after the hard drive body is removed, facilitating the placement and removal of the hard drive body by personnel. Attached Figure Description

[0027] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a testing device for a computer hard drive includes a test box 1, a test socket 2 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the test box 1, and a hard drive body 5 disposed inside the test box 1. The testing device for a computer hard drive includes:

[0028] Support plate 6, multiple support plates 6 are provided, and multiple support plates 6 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of test box 1 at equal intervals;

[0029] The plug-in assembly 3 is located between the test box 1 and the hard disk body 5. The plug-in assembly 3 is used to cooperate with multiple support plates 6 to support multiple hard disk bodies 5, and to control the multiple hard disk bodies 5 to move synchronously towards the test plug-in platform 2 for insertion and removal.

[0030] Pull-out component 4 is located between plug-in component 3 and hard disk body 5, and is used to pull hard disk body 5 away from test box 1;

[0031] The plug-in assembly 3 includes a support tray 35 that is slidably connected between the test box 1 and the support plate 6. Blocking blocks 38 are fixedly connected around the support tray 35. A baffle 36 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the support tray 35. A magnetic block 37 is fixedly connected to one end of the baffle 36 near the hard disk body 5.

[0032] The insertion and removal assembly 3 also includes a support frame 32 fixedly connected to the outer surface of the test box 1. A threaded rod 33 is rotatably connected to the center of the support frame 32. A movable block 34 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the threaded rod 33, and the movable block 34 is fixedly connected to the support tray 35.

[0033] The plug-in assembly 3 also includes a motor 31 that is fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the test box 1, and the output end of the motor 31 is fixedly connected to the threaded rod 33;

[0034] By adopting the above scheme, the insertion and removal component 3 can not only limit the hard disk body 5 by using the baffle 36 and blocking block 38 fixedly connected on the support tray 35, but also control the rotation direction of the threaded rod 33 so that the moving block 34 can carry the hard disk body 5 placed on the support tray 35 to move synchronously and accurately towards the test insertion stage 2 for insertion and removal. It can also perform synchronous testing on multiple hard disk bodies 5 at the same time, which not only improves the testing accuracy of the device to prevent damage, but also improves the testing efficiency of the device.

[0035] Please refer to Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the pull assembly 4 includes a transfer groove 41 opened on the support tray 35, a transfer plate 42 slidably connected to the transfer groove 41, and a pull bracket 45 fixedly connected to the bottom end of the transfer plate 42.

[0036] The pull-out assembly 4 also includes a support rod 43 fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the support tray 35, and the support rod 43 is slidably connected to the pull-out bracket 45. A spring 44 is slidably connected to the outer surface of the support rod 43.

[0037] The above solution is adopted: by setting the pull-out component 4, the pull-out bracket 45 can be pulled out of the test box 1 by the personnel, so as to activate the shift plate 42 to move the hard disk body 5 placed on the support tray 35 out of the test box 1, and the spring 44 will return to the original position after the hard disk body 5 is taken out, so that the shift plate 42 returns to the original position, which facilitates the personnel to place and take out the hard disk body 5.

[0038] Working principle and usage process of this utility model:

[0039] First, the staff placed multiple hard drive bodies 5 horizontally on each support tray 35, so that the end of the hard drive body 5 near the baffle 36 was attracted by the magnetic block 37 and limited by the blocking block 38, ensuring that the gold finger part of the hard drive body 5 was exposed facing the test socket 2.

[0040] Subsequently, the staff drove the motor 31 through the control panel to rotate the threaded rod 33 clockwise. Since the carrying tray 35 is slidably connected between the test box 1 and the support plate 6, and the outer surface of the threaded rod 33 is threadedly connected to the moving block 34, and the moving block 34 is fixedly connected to the carrying tray 35, the moving block 34 carries the carrying tray 35 and moves horizontally toward the test socket 2, so that the hard disk body 5 placed on the carrying tray 35 can be inserted into the test socket 2.

[0041] Furthermore, by working backward from the above process, personnel can also control the drive motor 31 to rotate the threaded rod 33 counterclockwise, thereby pulling the hard disk body 5 placed on the support tray 35 out of the test socket 2, and pulling the pull-out bracket 45 towards the outside of the test box 1, so as to link the shift plate 42 and move the hard disk body 5 placed on the support tray 35 out of the test box 1.
