[0026] Furthermore, the protective side plate 2 has four symmetrically distributed sliding holes 12 inside, and telescopic support frames 9 are provided inside the sliding holes 12. The telescopic support frames 9 are slidably connected to the sliding holes 12. When the two telescopic support frames 9 with larger opening angles are pulled out, the mobile hard drive enclosure body 1 is in a suspended state, so that the heat dissipation fins 5 at the bottom of the mobile hard drive enclosure body 1 can also effectively dissipate heat, greatly reducing the temperature of the mobile hard drive enclosure body 1 and ensuring the working efficiency and quality of the mobile hard drive enclosure body 1.
[0027] Furthermore, the clamping component 4 consists of three parts: a rotating block 13, an elastic element 14, and a connecting plate 2 15.

The connecting plate 2 15 is welded to the shaft end of the elastic element 14 away from the rotating block 13. The connecting plate 2 15 is welded to the inside of the easy-to-disassemble multi-model connector 3. The connecting plate 2 15 plays a connecting and limiting role. The elastic element 14 is in a compressed state inside the mobile hard drive enclosure body 1, which effectively ensures the clamping quality of the rotating block 13 and the clamping groove 8.
[0028] Furthermore, the top of the rotating block 13 is provided with a rotating rod 16, which is rotatably connected to the detachable multi-model connector 3. The center of the rotating block 13 on the side away from the elastic element 14 is provided with a button 17, which is engaged with the locking groove 8. The side wall of the rotating block 13 corresponding to the button 17 is provided with a serrated surface 18, which is engaged with the inside of the mobile hard drive enclosure body 1. Pressing the button 17 of the rotating block 13 causes the rotating block 13 to rotate around the rotating rod 16, causing the button 17 to lose engagement with the locking groove 8, so that the detachable multi-model connector 3 can be pulled out. This allows for the maintenance, repair and replacement of the detachable multi-model connector 3 and the internal components of the mobile hard drive enclosure body 1.

[0048] Working principle: Install the multi-model M.2 external hard drive enclosure correctly according to the diagram. When using the multi-model M.2 external hard drive enclosure, insert the easy-to-remove multi-model connector 3 into the enclosure body 1. During insertion, the locking member 4 plays a fixing role. The rotating block 13 in the locking member 4 rotates and engages with the easy-to-remove multi-model connector 3 through the rotating rod 16. The elastic member 14 is compressed during insertion, and the resulting elastic force pushes the rotating block 13, causing the button 17 to engage with the locking groove 8 of the enclosure body 1. At the same time, the serrated surface 18 engages with the inside of the enclosure body 1, ensuring that the easy-to-remove multi-model connector 3 is securely installed. The two sides of the enclosure body 1 are connected to the protective side plate 2 through the connecting plate 6. The connecting holes of the connecting plate 6... The connecting holes 10 of the first 7 and the protective side plate 2 are tightened with matching bolts to form a stable structure. The rubber block 11 on the protective side plate 2 can buffer the impact force generated by impact and drop, and protect the internal components. During operation, the heat dissipation fins 5 on the side wall of the mobile hard drive enclosure 1 increase the contact area with the air to assist in heat dissipation. If heat accumulates, the telescopic support frame 9 in the sliding hole 12 of the protective side plate 2 is pulled out to support the mobile hard drive enclosure 1 at a large angle, so that the bottom heat dissipation fins 5 also participate in heat dissipation and quickly reduce the temperature. When it is necessary to repair or replace parts, press the button 17 of the rotating block 13. The rotating block 13 rotates around the rotating rod 16, and the button 17 disengages from the locking groove 8, so that the easy-to-remove multi-model connector 3 and the internal components of the mobile hard drive enclosure 1 can be taken out for inspection.
