[0033] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0034] Please see Figures 1-4 One embodiment of this utility model provides: a waterproof and dustproof outdoor ruggedized portable solid-state drive, comprising: a ruggedized outer shell 1, and further comprising...
[0035] Motherboard 2 is located inside the reinforced shell 1, and a main control chip 4 and a cache chip 5 are respectively installed on the motherboard 2. Solid-state electronic storage chips 3 are also evenly distributed on the motherboard 2.
[0036] Interface 6 is located at the center of one end of the motherboard 2 and extends out of the reinforced outer casing 1.
[0037] When using this portable solid-state drive, take it to an outdoor area and connect one end of the USB cable to interface 6 and the other end to a host device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone, etc.) to transfer data.
[0038] The host device transmits data to the main control chip 4 through interface 6. The main control chip 4 divides the data into small blocks and writes them into the free cells of the solid-state electronic storage chip 3. During the writing process, the main control chip 4 performs wear leveling and garbage collection operations.
[0039] When data needs to be read, the host device sends a read request to the main control chip 4. The main control chip 4 locates and reads the data from the solid-state electronic storage chip 3, and the read data is transmitted back to the host device through the interface 6.
[0040] The cache chip 5 serves as a high-speed temporary storage area, which can significantly accelerate data read and write speeds. When the host device writes data to the solid-state drive, the data is first temporarily stored in the cache chip 5 and then written to the solid-state electronic storage chip 3. Similarly, when the host device reads data from the solid-state drive, the cache chip 5 prefetches and temporarily stores frequently used data, reducing the number of times it reads directly from the solid-state electronic storage chip 3. The cache chip 5 helps the main control chip 4 manage data more efficiently and improve overall performance.
[0041] A reserved groove 7 is provided on the outer side of the reinforced outer shell 1 of the interface 6, and a protective cover 8 is connected to one end of the reserved groove 7 by a rubber strip. A sealing plug 9 is provided on the side of the protective cover 8 near the interface 6.
[0042] When not in use, disconnect the connecting cable, and then connect the sealing plug 9 on the protective cover 8 to the interface 6 to protect the interface 6 and prevent dust and water from entering the interior.
[0043] The reinforced outer shell 1 has a sandwich layer 22 inside its side wall, and reinforcing ribs 23 are evenly distributed inside the sandwich layer 22. Both the reinforced outer shell 1 and the reinforcing ribs 23 are made of aluminum alloy, which has high structural strength, is not easily deformed or damaged, and can withstand drops, impacts and vibrations.
[0044] The outer side of the reinforced outer shell 1 is uniformly coated with a waterproof coating 17, and the waterproof coating 17 is a nano-superhydrophobic coating, which has hydrophobicity and can prevent water from adhering and penetrating.
[0045] Ventilation 15 is located above the top surface of the reinforced housing 1. A micro fan 10 is integrated on the top of one side of the motherboard 2, and the micro fan 10 is positioned corresponding to the ventilation 15. The micro fan 10 is used to dissipate heat through the ventilation 15 when the portable solid-state drive is working.
[0046] A protective plate 14 is provided on the outside of the ventilation opening 15. Fixing blocks 11 are provided at both ends of the top of the protective plate 14. Fixing grooves 12 corresponding to the fixing blocks 11 are provided on the reinforced outer shell 1.
[0047] The slide 16 is provided in two sets, and the slide 16 is respectively provided on the reinforced outer shell 1 on both sides of the ventilation opening 15. The protective plate 14 is provided with sliders 13 at both ends on the side near the ventilation opening 15.
[0048] When not in use, the protective plate 14 can be slid to allow the slider 13 to slide in the groove 16 until the protective plate 14 moves to the side of the vent 15 and covers the vent 15, preventing the vent 15 from being exposed to the outside, which would cause rainwater and dust to seep into the interior and affect the normal operation of the internal electronic components.
[0049] Each side of the fixing block 11 is provided with a groove 19, and the interior of the groove 19 is uniformly provided with a limit member 21 through the reset spring 20;
[0050] Limiting holes 18 are provided on one side of the fixing groove 12, and the limiting member 21 and the limiting hole 18 are located on the same vertical line;
[0051] When the protective plate 14 moves to the end of its travel, the fixing block 11 is embedded in the fixing groove 12. When the limiting member 21 passes through the limiting hole 18 on one side of the fixing groove 12, it is ejected from the limiting hole 18 under the action of the return spring 20, thereby fixing the protective plate 14 to the outside of the ventilation port 15 and preventing the protective plate 14 from shifting during the carrying and moving of the mobile solid-state drive.
[0052] The specific model and specifications of the miniature fan 10 need to be determined based on the specifications and parameters of the device. The selection and calculation method is existing technology, so it will not be described in detail here.
[0053] Working principle: In this embodiment, the portable solid-state drive consists of a reinforced casing 1, a motherboard 2, and an interface 6. The motherboard 2 is evenly equipped with solid-state electronic storage chips 3, a main control chip 4, and cache chips 5. When in use, the portable solid-state drive is taken to an outdoor area. One end of a USB cable is connected to the interface 6, and the other end is plugged into a host device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone, etc.) to transmit data. The host device transmits data to the main control chip 4 through the interface 6. The main control chip 4 divides the data into small blocks and writes them into the idle units of the solid-state electronic storage chip 3. The writing process... In the process, the main control chip 4 performs wear leveling and garbage collection operations. When data needs to be read, the host device sends a read request to the main control chip 4. The main control chip 4 locates and reads the data from the solid-state electronic storage chip 3. The read data is transmitted back to the host device through interface 6. The cache chip 5 serves as a high-speed temporary storage area, which can significantly accelerate data read and write speeds. When the host device writes data to the solid-state drive, the data is first temporarily stored in the cache chip 5 and then written to the solid-state electronic storage chip 3. Similarly, when the host device reads data from the solid-state drive, the cache chip 5 prefetches and temporarily stores frequently used data, reducing... The cache chip 5 reduces the number of times data is read directly from the solid-state electronic storage chip 3, and helps the main control chip 4 manage data more efficiently, improving overall performance. The side wall of the reinforced shell 1 has a sandwich layer 22 with evenly distributed reinforcing ribs 23. Both the reinforcing ribs 23 and the reinforced shell 1 are made of aluminum alloy, resulting in high structural strength and resistance to deformation and damage. This protects the motherboard 2, enabling the portable solid-state drive to withstand drops, impacts, and vibrations. The motherboard 2 integrates a micro fan 10 to dissipate heat through the ventilation vent 15 when the portable solid-state drive is working. When not in use, the fan can be moved through the sliding protective plate 14. This causes the slider 13 to slide within the slide groove 16 until the protective plate 14 moves to the side of the vent 15, covering the vent 15 and preventing the vent 15 from being constantly exposed, which would allow rainwater and dust to seep into the interior and affect the normal operation of the internal electronic components. When the protective plate 14 moves to the end of its travel, the fixing block 11 is embedded in the fixing groove 12. When the limiting member 21 passes through the limiting hole 18 on one side of the fixing groove 12, it is ejected from the limiting hole 18 under the action of the return spring 20, thereby fixing the protective plate 14 to the outside of the vent 15 and preventing the protective plate 14 from shifting during the carrying and moving of the mobile solid-state drive.
