[0020] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0021] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 This invention describes one embodiment of a hard disk holding device 100, applicable to holding a hard disk 1. The hard disk 1 has a front end face 11, a rear end face 12 opposite to the front end face 11, two side faces 13, two recesses 14 formed on the side faces 13, and two guide holes 15 formed on the front end face 11. It should be noted that the recesses 14 and the guide holes 15 are built-in screw holes of the hard disk 1 itself, i.e., conventionally provided. The hard disk holding device 100 includes a bracket 2, a holding member 3, and four fixing members 4.
[0022] See Figures 1 to 3 The bracket 2 is made of galvanized steel sheet and includes a front portion 21 that abuts against the front end face 11, two side arms 22 respectively connecting the two ends of the front portion 21, and two guide portions 23 formed in the front portion 21 that can extend into the corresponding guide holes 15. The bracket 2 is generally U-shaped, and a hollow portion 24 is formed between the front portion 21 and the two side arms 22. Each side arm 22 is generally slender and thin. The number of guide portions 23 is not limited to two; it can be adjusted as needed in other embodiments, as long as at least one is sufficient.
[0023] The retaining member 3 is made of an elastic material. In this embodiment, it is integrally formed from elastic stainless steel, but this is not a limitation. Furthermore, the elasticity of the material of the retaining member 3 is higher than that of the support 2. The retaining member 3 includes two connecting portions 31 respectively connecting one end of the two side arms 22 away from the front portion 21, two retaining arms 32 extending from both ends of the connecting portions 31 toward the support 2 and respectively fixed to the two side arms 22, and two operating portions 33 extending from the connecting portions 31 away from the hard disk 1. Each retaining arm 32 has a protrusion 321 that can engage with the corresponding recess 14 of the side surface 13. The protrusion 321 is disposed between the fixing member 4 and the front portion 21. The protrusion 321 is generally hemispherical, but this is not a limitation. The number of operating portions 33 is not limited to two; in other embodiments, it can be adjusted as needed, as long as at least one is sufficient. The fastener 4 passes through the side arm 22 and the retaining arm 32 respectively, so that the retaining arm 32 is fixed to the two side arms 22 respectively. In this embodiment, the fastener 4 is a roughly disc-shaped rivet, but it is not limited to this. The number of fasteners 4 is not limited to four. In other embodiments, it can be other numbers, as long as there are multiple.
[0024] See Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The following is a brief description of the procedure for installing the hard disk 1 into the hard disk holding device 100: First, a user inserts the hard disk 1 into the hard disk holding device 100 from above, aligning the guide holes 15 with the guide parts 23, as follows. Figure 4 As shown. Next, push the hard disk 1 towards the front part 21, causing the guide parts 23 to extend into the guide holes 15, as shown. Figure 5 As shown. Finally, the user only needs to press down on the hard drive 1 with their thumb, while the other four fingers press against the bottom surface of the operating part 33 of the retaining member 3, so that the protrusion 321 can engage with the recess 14, as shown. Figure 1As shown, the hard drive 1 can be securely held by the bracket 2 and the retaining member 3, completing the assembly process. Disassembly only requires the reverse operation: press the operating part 33 with your thumb, and with your other four fingers against the bottom surface of the hard drive 1, push the hard drive 1 upwards. This will cause the protrusion 321 to move out of the recess 14. Figure 5 As shown. Next, pull the hard disk 1 away from the front part 21, causing the guide parts 23 to move out of the guide holes 15, as shown. Figure 4 As shown, the disassembly of the hard drive 1 is completed. The hard drive holding device 100 is quite convenient to operate and can reduce the time required for assembly and disassembly.
[0025] In summary, since the protrusions 321 of the two holding arms 32 of the holding member 3 can engage with the recesses 14 of the hard disk 1, the user only needs to hold the holding member 3 and the bracket 2 and push the hard disk 1 to make the protrusions 321 engage with the recesses 14 to complete the assembly action, or reverse the operation by holding the holding member 3 and the bracket 2 and pushing the hard disk 1 to move the protrusions 321 out of the recesses 14 to complete the disassembly action. The operation is quite convenient and can reduce the time required for assembly and disassembly.
[0026] However, the above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model. Any simple equivalent changes and modifications made in accordance with the claims and patent specification of this utility model shall still fall within the scope of this utility model patent.
