[0027] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0029] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.

[0030] Example 1

[0031] Reference Figures 1-3 This is the first embodiment of the present invention, which provides a solid-state drive (SSD) test rack. The SSD test rack includes an insertion component 100 and a removal component 200. The insertion component 100 can align the SSD interface with the socket 108a to make it horizontal, thereby standardizing the insertion operation and avoiding fatigue damage to the interface and socket 108a due to improper operation. The removal component 200 can eject the SSD after testing, separating it from the socket 108a, thereby avoiding damage to the hard drive interface or socket 108a that may be caused by improper removal direction or force.

[0032] Specifically, the insertion assembly 100 includes a base 101, a frame 102, a fixing member 103, a moving member 104, a limiting member 105, a releasing member 106, a guide member 107, and a detection member 108. The base 101 is disposed at the bottom of the frame 102. A plurality of cavities 102a are formed on one side of the frame 102. The fixing member 103 is located at the top of the frame 102. The moving member 104 is located within the plurality of cavities 102a. The limiting member 105 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the frame 102. The releasing member 106 is disposed on one side of the base 101 and cooperates with the limiting member 105. The guide member 107 is fixedly connected to both sides of the frame 102. The detection member 108 is disposed on one side of the frame 102.

[0033] The removal component 200 is located on the other side of the frame 102 and includes a contact frame 201, an arc-shaped spring 202, a reset component 203, and a handle 204. The contact frame 201 is located on one side of several cavities 102a. The contact frame 201 is fixedly connected to the top and bottom of the other side of the frame 102. The arc-shaped spring 202 is fixedly connected to one side of the contact frame 201. The reset component 203 is fixedly connected to the top of the frame 102. The handle 204 is fixedly connected to one side of the frame 102.

[0034] By setting the fixing member 103 inside the cavity 102a, when the solid-state drive enters the cavity 102a, the fixing member 103 can lock the solid-state drive in place, making it less likely to slip out. At the same time, the interface of the solid-state drive will be aligned with the socket 108a, thereby reducing damage to the interface and socket 108a. The moving member 104 facilitates the entry and exit of the solid-state drive in the cavity 102a, which can reduce friction on the surface of the solid-state drive and thus reduce scratches.

[0035] The limiting member 105 can fix the frame 102, thereby preventing the frame 102 from moving due to external force, which would cause the solid-state drive interface to separate from the socket 108a and affect the test results. The releasing member 106 can release the fixing of the frame 102 by the limiting member 105 after the test is completed, thereby facilitating the separation of the interface from the socket 108a. The guide member 107 can guide the movement distance and direction of the frame 102 during the movement, thereby increasing stability. The detection member 108 can realize the detection of the solid-state drive.

[0036] The abutment frame 201 can limit the ends of the solid-state drive. When the two ends of the solid-state drive are limited by the abutment frame 201 and the fixing member 103 respectively, the solid-state drive will contact the arc-shaped spring 202 and deform it. After the detection is completed, the arc-shaped spring 202 will reset and release elastic potential energy to push the solid-state drive out, so that the solid-state drive is separated from the socket 108a. The reset member 203 can assist the frame 102 to move, reducing the manual labor intensity, while the handle 204 can facilitate manual pushing and pulling of the frame 102.

[0037] The fixing component 103, the moving component 104, the contact frame 201, and the arc-shaped spring piece 202 are all correspondingly provided at each cavity 102a.

[0038] Specifically, the fastener 103 includes a fixing groove 103a communicating with the cavity 102a. The fixing groove 103a is opened at the top of the frame 102. A fixing block 103b is movably connected to the inner cavity of the fixing groove 103a. The fixing block 103b passes through the fixing groove 103a and extends into the inner cavity of the cavity 102a. A first spring 103c is fixedly connected to the top of the inner cavity of the fixing groove 103a. The surface of the fixing block 103b is fixedly connected to the fixing groove 103a through the first spring 103c.

[0039] The end of the fixing block 103b is sloped. When the solid-state drive enters the cavity 102a, it will contact the end of the fixing block 103b. At this time, the fixing block 103b will rise under force and squeeze the first spring 103c. When the solid-state drive is fully inserted into the cavity 102a, the fixing block 103b will return to its original position under the action of the first spring 103c, thereby fixing the solid-state drive. It should be noted that the fixing block 103b contacts the inner wall of the fixing groove 103a. The fixing groove 103a can limit the fixing block 103b, thereby preventing the fixing block 103b from tilting during movement and affecting its use.

[0040] Example 2

[0041] Reference Figures 1-6 This is the second embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the previous embodiment.

[0042] Specifically, the movable component 104 includes a movable groove 104a formed at the bottom and both sides of the inner cavity of the cavity 102a, and a movable roller 104b is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the movable groove 104a.

[0043] When the solid-state drive (SSD) enters the cavity 102a, it comes into contact with the moving roller 104b. This reduces the friction generated during the movement of the SSD and lowers the surface wear of the SSD.

[0044] Specifically, the limiting member 105 includes a limiting groove 105a opened on the front of the frame 102, a limiting block 105b movably connected to the inner cavity of the limiting groove 105a, a second spring 105c fixedly connected to the top of the limiting block 105b, the second spring 105c fixedly connected to the top of the inner cavity of the limiting groove 105a, a horizontal groove 105d opened on the top of the base 101, a vertical groove 105e connected to the bottom of the horizontal groove 105d, and the limiting block 105b snapped into the inner cavity of the vertical groove 105e.

[0045] When the frame 102 moves the solid-state drive and inserts the connector into the socket 108a, the limiting block 105b will move from the horizontal groove 105d to the vertical groove 105e for fixation under the support of the second spring 105c. At this time, the frame 102 can be limited to prevent it from moving due to external force.

[0046] Specifically, the bottom of the limiting block 105b is movably connected with ball bearings 105b-1. There are multiple ball bearings 105b-1, which are evenly distributed at the bottom of the limiting block 105b.

[0047] The use of ball bearings 105b-1 can reduce the friction between the limit block 105b and the transverse groove 105d, making the movement of the limit block 105b smoother. At the same time, it can increase the service life of the limit block 105b and the transverse groove 105d and reduce the later maintenance costs.

[0048] Specifically, sliders 105b-2 are fixedly connected to both sides of the limiting block 105b, and sliding grooves 105b-3 are opened on both sides of the inner cavity of the limiting groove 105a, with sliders 105b-2 movably connected to the inner cavity of the sliding grooves 105b-3.

[0049] The cooperation between slider 105b-2 and groove 105b-3 can limit and support the limit block 105b, making it more stable and reliable during lifting.

[0050] Specifically, the release component 106 includes a release rod 106a movably connected to one side of the base 101. One side of the release rod 106a passes through the base 101 and extends into the vertical groove 105e. A release roller 106b is fixedly connected to one side of the release rod 106a. The release roller 106b contacts the bottom of the limiting block 105b.

[0051] The end of the limiting block 105b is inclined. When the release rod 106a drives the release roller 106b to move, the limiting block 105b will rise during the process of being pushed by the release roller 106b until it is flush with the transverse groove 105d. At this time, the limiting block 105b can be released from limiting the frame 102.

[0052] Specifically, the guide component 107 includes guide blocks 107a fixedly connected to both sides of the frame 102, and guide grooves 107b are provided on both sides of the top of the base 101. The guide blocks 107a are slidably connected to the inner cavity of the guide grooves 107b.

[0053] By sliding the guide block 107a within the cavity of the guide groove 107b, the moving distance and direction of the frame 102 can be positioned, making it less prone to tilting and facilitating the control of the movement of the frame 102.

[0054] Specifically, the testing component 108 includes a socket 108a fixedly connected to one side of the top of the base 101, a host 108b fixedly connected to one side of the socket 108a, and a display 108c fixedly connected to one side of the host 108b.

[0055] The host 108b includes a power management module, a signal analysis module, a data transmission test module, etc., and displays the test structure through the display 108c. This is existing technology, and those skilled in the art can set it according to actual needs, so it will not be described in detail.

[0056] Specifically, the reset component 203 includes a reset seat 203a fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the frame 102. A reset rod 203b is slidably connected to one side of the reset seat 203a. The reset rod 203b is fixedly connected to the top of the socket 108a. A third spring 203c is fixedly connected to one side of the reset rod 203b. The third spring 203c is fixedly connected to one side of the inner cavity of the reset seat 203a.

[0057] After the frame 102 is released from its fixed position, the third spring 203c releases its elastic potential energy, causing the reset seat 203a to move away from the reset rod 203b, thereby assisting the movement of the frame 102. This reduces manual labor and significantly improves efficiency, especially in batch testing.

[0058] In use, the solid-state drive (SSD) is placed inside the cavity 102a, and then slid inward by the moving roller 104b until it contacts the abutment frame 201. During this process, the fixing block 103b is pushed upward upon contact with the SSD, and then force is applied to deform the arc-shaped spring 202 of the SSD. At this time, the fixing block 103b will rebound under the action of the first spring 103c, fixing the SSD and aligning the SSD interface with the socket 108a. This avoids poor contact or fatigue damage to the plug and socket 108a caused by inaccurate alignment during manual insertion. The device can then be moved by the movable frame 102. During the insertion of the solid-state drive (SSD) and socket 108a, the limiting block 105b moves from the horizontal slot 105d to the vertical slot 105e. At this time, the limiting block 105b moves under the action of the second spring 105c and engages with the vertical slot 105e, thereby fixing the frame 102. This prevents the SSD from separating from the socket 108a due to accidental movement of the frame 102. Subsequently, the SSD can be tested by the detection component 108. After the test is completed, the fixing block 103b can be moved up to release its fixation of the SSD. At this time, the arc-shaped spring 202 will reset and push the SSD away from the socket 108a, thereby avoiding possible damage when manually unplugging it.

[0059] Subsequently, the release roller 106b can be moved by moving the release lever 106a, which will push the limit block 105b to rise. When the limit block 105b rises to the height of the transverse groove 105d, the fixing of the frame 102 can be released. At this time, the frame 102 can be moved and the solid-state drive and the socket 108a can be separated. During this process, the third spring 203c can generate a thrust, which will cause the reset seat 203a to drive the frame 102 to move, thereby reducing the manual burden.

[0060] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
