Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hard disk installation technology, specifically a computer hard disk installation and fixing structure. Background Technology

[0002] Solid-state drives (SSDs), also known as solid-state drives, are hard drives made of solid-state electronic storage chip arrays. The most common way to cool memory is with what we call a "heatplate," which is a pair of aluminum plates sandwiched between the memory modules. There is thermally conductive material in the middle where it contacts the chips. This is the most common type of memory heatsink.

[0003] Currently, solid-state drives (SSDs) are installed and secured with heatsinks using adhesive. This method results in the SSD and heatsink being integrated into a single unit, making them difficult to disassemble. If either the SSD or the heatsink fails, it cannot be replaced, and forcibly separating them can cause severe damage, thus affecting the lifespan of the SSD. Therefore, an improved computer hard drive mounting and securing structure is needed to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a computer hard drive mounting and fixing structure to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a computer hard drive mounting and fixing structure, including a lower cover, an upper cover on the top of the lower cover, heat-conducting pads on the inner sides of both the lower cover and the upper cover, L-shaped fixing strips fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the lower cover, and insert strips fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the upper cover.

[0006] Preferably, a friction layer is provided on the inner side of both L-shaped fixing strips, and a stop block is fixedly installed on the back of both L-shaped fixing strips. An insertion rounded corner is opened on the inner side of the friction layer away from the stop block, so that the friction layer and the L-shaped fixing strip can be quickly inserted into the inner side of the insert under the action of the insertion rounded corner.

[0007] Preferably, the two inserts are disposed on the outside of the two L-shaped fixing strips, and the L-shaped fixing strips and the friction layer are both inserted into the inside of the inserts. The friction layer is made of a soft material, and its flexibility and compressibility facilitate the clamping of the inserts and the L-shaped fixing strips.

[0008] Preferably, a rubber pad is fixedly installed on the front of the lower cover, and a push plate is fixedly installed on the back of the upper cover, so as to facilitate subsequent disassembly of the upper cover and the lower cover.

[0009] Preferably, the upper cover has heat dissipation slots inside, which improves the heat dissipation effect of the solid-state drive and protects it.

[0010] Preferably, the push plate is slidably installed on the inner side of the lower cover, which facilitates the disassembly of the upper cover by pushing it out of place from the lower cover.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a computer hard drive mounting and fixing structure, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] 1. The computer hard drive mounting and fixing structure uses a friction layer on the inner side of an L-shaped fixing strip to cooperate with an insert strip. One end of the friction layer has an insertion rounded corner. The insert strip is inserted into the L-shaped fixing strip through the insertion rounded corner of the friction layer, so that the lower cover and the upper cover close to install and fix the solid-state drive.

[0013] 2. Based on this, the present invention allows the upper cover to be disassembled by pressing the rubber pad against the edge of the table and pressing the push plate downward with the finger to make the upper cover fall and misalign with the lower cover, thereby facilitating the replacement of damaged parts and making the device easy to maintain.

[0014] 3. Based on this, the convenience brought by the friction layer and the insert strip of this utility model to install the lower cover and the upper cover is far greater than the inconvenience of pressing and exerting force. For adults, there will be no excessive force required, making it convenient and labor-saving. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0025] Example 1:

[0026] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution: a computer hard drive mounting and fixing structure, including a lower cover 1, an upper cover 2 on the top of the lower cover 1, heat-conducting pads 3 on the inner sides of both the lower cover 1 and the upper cover 2, L-shaped fixing strips 4 fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the lower cover 1, and insert strips 7 fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the upper cover 2.

[0027] Furthermore, friction layers 5 are provided on the inner side of both L-shaped fixing strips 4, and blocks 8 are fixedly installed on the back of both L-shaped fixing strips 4. An insertion rounded corner 6 is provided on the inner side of the friction layer 5 away from the block 8, so that the friction layer 5 and the L-shaped fixing strip 4 can be quickly inserted into the inner side of the insert 7 under the action of the insertion rounded corner 6.

[0028] Furthermore, two inserts 7 are positioned on the outside of the two L-shaped fixing strips 4. The L-shaped fixing strips 4 and the friction layer 5 are both inserted into the inside of the inserts 7. The friction layer 5 is made of a soft material, and its flexibility and compressibility make it easy for the inserts 7 and the L-shaped fixing strips 4 to be clamped together.

[0029] Furthermore, a rubber pad 9 is fixedly installed on the front of the lower cover 1, and a push plate 10 is fixedly installed on the back of the upper cover 2, which facilitates the subsequent disassembly of the upper cover 2 and the lower cover 1.

[0030] Example 2:

[0031] Please see Figure 1 Furthermore, in conjunction with Embodiment 1, it is further found that the upper cover 2 has a heat dissipation groove inside, which provides better heat dissipation for the solid-state drive and protects it.

[0032] Furthermore, the push plate 10 is slidably installed on the inner side of the lower cover 1, which facilitates the disassembly of the upper cover 2 by pushing it out of place from the lower cover 1.

[0033] In actual operation, when this device is used and a solid-state drive needs to be installed and fixed, place the thermal pad 3 inside the lower cover 1, place the solid-state drive on top of the thermal pad 3, and then place another thermal pad 3 inside the upper cover 2. Position the back of the upper cover 2 and the front of the lower cover 1 at the same horizontal plane, with the two inserts 7 and the two L-shaped fixing strips 4 in corresponding positions. Then, push the thermal pad 3 horizontally backward to slide it onto the top of the lower cover 1. Since the inner side of the L-shaped fixing strip 4 is provided with a friction layer 5, and the end of the friction layer 5 away from the stop block 8 has an opening... Inserting the rounded corner 6 allows the friction layer 5 and the L-shaped fixing strip 4 to quickly insert into the inside of the insert 7 under the action of the rounded corner 6. When the back of the insert 7 contacts the stop block 8, the upper cover 2 has been pushed to the optimal position. At this time, the lower cover 1 and the upper cover 2 are in a perfectly closed state, thus completing the installation and fixing of the solid-state drive. At the same time, there is friction between the friction layer 5 and the insert 7, which prevents the lower cover 1 and the upper cover 2 from falling off after installation, making the solid-state drive installation more stable and providing better protection. The two thermal pads 3 are placed on the upper and lower sides, which makes the heat dissipation effect better.

[0034] If any of the following components—the bottom cover 1, the top cover 2, or the solid-state drive—are damaged, the disassembly steps are as follows (refer to the attached instruction manual). Figure 6 As shown

[0035] Place the side of the upper cover 2 with the rubber pad 9 against the edge of the table. The rubber pad 9 protects the lower cover 1 from damage caused by excessive force. At this time, the lower cover 1 and the upper cover 2 are in a vertical position. Then, press your finger on the push plate 10 and press down on the push plate 10 to make the upper cover 2 descend, causing the two inserts 7 to descend as well. The inserts 7 slide on the outside of the friction layer 5, causing the upper cover 2 and the lower cover 1 to misalign until the upper cover 2 and the lower cover 1 are completely separated. This completes the disassembly of the lower cover 1 and the upper cover 2, allowing the solid-state drive to be removed. This facilitates the replacement of the damaged part and avoids the problem of conventional integrated installation of the lower cover 1, upper cover 2, and solid-state drive, where the entire assembly must be replaced if one part is damaged. This saves costs.

[0036] It should be added that, considering the flexibility and compressibility of the friction layer 5 itself, the friction layer 5 will have a certain fixed damping during the compression process, but it will not be too forceful for an adult. Therefore, the portability brought about by the friction layer 5 and the insert 7 to install the lower cover 1 and the upper cover 2 is far greater than the inconvenience, and it is more convenient to use.

[0037] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.
