[0028] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 This utility model proposes a portable hard drive 100, which includes: a housing 10 having a first mounting surface 11 and a second mounting surface 12 opposite to each other, and an installation space 13 provided inside the housing 10; a hard drive body 20, which is installed in the installation space 13; a magnetic suction structure (not shown), which is installed on the first mounting surface 11; and a suction cup structure 40, which is installed on the second mounting surface 12.

[0029] Specifically, the portable hard drive 100 includes a housing 10, a hard drive body 20, a magnetic structure, and a suction cup structure 40. The housing 10 is used to install and protect the internal structure. The hard drive body 20 is installed within the installation space 13 of the housing 10. The opposite sides of the housing 10 form a first mounting surface 11 and a second mounting surface 12, used to respectively install the magnetic structure and the suction cup structure 40, allowing the housing 10 to be attached to the product for use. By integrating two different fixing mechanisms, magnetic and suction, the portable hard drive 100 can adapt to the surfaces of devices with different materials and structures, achieving a stable connection without additional tools or accessories. This design allows the hard drive to be compatible with a variety of devices, whether it's a mobile phone that supports magnetic attachment or a computer made of materials such as aluminum-magnesium alloy or titanium alloy.

[0030] The type of hard drive 20 can be selected according to actual needs. For example, it can be set as an NVMe SSD, which is designed for users who need high-speed data transfer and easy portability. It can quickly store, back up and transfer large amounts of files, and is suitable for groups with large data needs such as photographers, video producers, designers and content creators.

[0031] The installation methods of the hard drive body 20, the magnetic structure, and the suction cup structure 40 include, but are not limited to, threaded connection, snap-fit ​​connection, or adhesive connection.

[0032] By setting up a magnetic structure, one side of the housing 10 has a magnetic function, which can attach the hard drive to a metal surface, such as a desktop, car interior, or other magnetic objects (such as a mobile phone), making it easy to hang when using it; whether on a desktop, in a car, or in an office environment, the portable hard drive 100 can be placed stably, avoiding damage due to movement or improper placement.

[0033] By setting up a suction cup structure 40, the other side of the housing 10 can be attached to a smooth surface, such as glass, plastic, a smooth desktop or computer, providing a more stable fixation method; this makes the hard drive not only suitable for traditional desktop use, but also for use in specific scenarios, such as in vehicles, workbenches, etc., providing additional convenience.

[0034] The portable hard drive 100 is suitable for environments that require frequent device connections, such as drone photography, in-vehicle data transmission, and mobile workstations. The magnetic and suction cup structures 40 provide more secure mounting options, ensuring the hard drive remains safe and stable during movement.

[0035] The magnetic structure allows for quick alignment and attachment to magnetically compatible devices; while the suction cup provides strong grip, ensuring the hard drive remains firmly in place even on smooth surfaces.

[0036] Users can quickly connect the portable hard drive 100 to their devices without any additional components, simplifying the connection process between the portable hard drive 100 and the device, reducing the difficulty and time cost for users, and avoiding potential damage to the device surface caused by using glue or other permanent adhesive methods.

[0037] This utility model's technical solution involves setting a magnetic structure on the first mounting surface 11 of the housing 10 and a suction cup structure 40 on the second mounting surface 12 of the housing 10. The magnetic structure can be used to adsorb mobile phones or other metal surfaces that support magnetic adsorption, while the suction cup structure 40 can be used to directly adsorb smooth surfaces of devices such as computers (e.g., aluminum-magnesium alloy, titanium alloy shells). This allows the portable hard drive 100 to be easily connected to both mobile phones and computers, solving the problem that traditional magnetic portable hard drives 100 cannot be directly adsorbed onto computers and require additional accessories, making operation more convenient. The suction cup structure 40 can also be adsorbed onto other smooth surfaces, such as tablets and monitors, further expanding the application scenarios of the portable hard drive 100. Users do not need to carry additional intermediate parts, improving ease of use. Since the suction cup structure 40 does not require glue to stick to the computer, no glue residue is left on the computer surface, keeping the computer clean and aesthetically pleasing.

[0038] In an embodiment of this utility model, the suction cup structure 40 includes a suction cup pad 41 and a plurality of suction cup feet 42. The suction cup pad 41 is fixedly connected to the side of the second mounting surface 12 facing away from the first mounting surface 11, and the plurality of suction cup feet 42 are evenly and spaced apart from the suction cup pad 41.

[0039] In detail, the suction cup structure 40 can be configured with multiple suction cup feet according to the required suction force. In this embodiment, the suction cup structure 40 is configured as a suction cup pad 41 and multiple suction cup feet 42. The suction cup pad 41 can be connected to the second mounting surface 12. By setting multiple evenly spaced suction cup feet 42, the number of contact points between the suction cup and the contact surface can be increased, thereby improving the overall suction force and stability.

[0040] Multi-point support allows the suction cup structure 40 to maintain good contact on different surfaces, and this structure can better adapt to surfaces of various shapes and materials; since each suction cup foot 42 works independently, they can compensate for minor unevenness of the surface to a certain extent, ensuring effective adsorption even on slightly curved or irregular surfaces.

[0041] In an embodiment of this utility model, there are seven suction cup feet 42; wherein, one suction cup foot 42 is located at the center of the suction cup pad 41, and the six suction cup feet 42 are centrally symmetrically distributed on the suction cup pad 41 and arranged around one suction cup foot 42.

[0042] It is worth noting that the number of suction cup feet 42 can be set according to actual needs, and can be two, four, or six. In one embodiment, seven suction cup feet 42 are provided, such as... Figure 2 This layout allows for the even distribution of hard drive weight and external forces. The seven feet increase the number of contact points with the contact surface. In particular, when the central foot works together with the other six feet, a stable adsorption can be formed over a larger area, providing stronger adsorption force and higher stability.

[0043] The centrally symmetrical layout, coupled with the support of the central support leg, ensures that the portable hard drive 100 maintains good balance even under slight external forces, reducing instability caused by a shift in the center of gravity and ensuring that the portable hard drive 100 remains level on the suction surface, preventing tilting or wobbling. Furthermore, this design results in a neater and more aesthetically pleasing overall appearance without significantly increasing the thickness or size of the portable hard drive 100.

[0044] In an embodiment of this utility model, the suction cup pad 41 and the plurality of suction cup feet 42 are integrally formed.

[0045] In detail, the integrated design of the suction cup pad 41 and multiple suction cup feet 42 reduces seams and connection points between components, thereby improving the overall structural robustness and durability; the appearance is also simpler and smoother, enhancing the overall aesthetics of the product. The integrated molding process can be completed in one step using a mold, eliminating the need for separate manufacturing and assembly of multiple parts, saving time and labor costs. Due to the absence of seams or gaps, the integrated structure provides a better seal, effectively preventing moisture and dust from entering the device and enhancing its waterproof and dustproof performance.

[0046] In the embodiments of this utility model, the suction cup pad 41 and the plurality of suction cup feet 42 are all made of silicone.

[0047] It is worth noting that silicone material has good flexibility and elasticity. Silicone can deform slightly to adapt to the contours of the contact surface, thereby forming an effective seal and enhancing the adsorption effect of the suction cup feet 42. This allows the suction cup structure 40 to fit tightly to various surfaces, including those that are slightly uneven or have imperfections, demonstrating strong adaptability. Silicone surfaces typically offer a high coefficient of friction, which helps improve the stability of the portable hard drive 100 on smooth surfaces.

[0048] In an embodiment of this utility model, the portable hard drive 100 further includes a suction cup mounting plate 50, which is fixedly connected to the second mounting surface 12; the surface of the suction cup mounting plate 50 is provided with a connecting post 51, and the side of the suction cup pad 41 away from the suction cup support 42 is provided with a connecting hole 411, and the connecting post 51 is inserted into the connecting hole 411.

[0049] Specifically, the connecting post 51 and connecting hole 411 help guide the suction cup mounting plate 50 and suction cup pad 41 to accurately align. The tight-fitting plug-in connection provides additional support points, helping to maintain the stability of the suction cup pad 41 and suction cup feet 42, increasing the overall structural strength and stability, and preventing loosening or misalignment during use. Especially when subjected to external forces, it ensures that each suction cup foot 42 is evenly distributed and functions correctly.

[0050] In an embodiment of this utility model, the second mounting surface 12 is recessed in a groove 14 on the side opposite to the first mounting surface 11, and the suction cup mounting plate 50 is disposed in the groove 14 and fixedly connected to the outer wall of the box body 10 by screws.

[0051] In detail, such as Figure 3By embedding the suction cup mounting plate 50 into the recess 14, the external hard drive 100 maintains a flat and clean appearance, avoiding protrusion from the surface of the housing 10 and making the product look more integrated. The recess 14 provides additional support for the suction cup mounting plate 50, while the screw fixing ensures its firm attachment to the outer wall of the housing 10, increasing the overall structural strength of the external hard drive 100 and reducing damage caused by accidental collisions or drops. Furthermore, the pre-designed recess 14 provides clear positioning guidance for the suction cup mounting plate 50, making the assembly process simpler and faster.

[0052] In addition, buckles can be provided on the side of the suction cup mounting plate 50, and slots can be provided on the inner wall of the groove 14. The suction cup mounting plate 50 can be pre-positioned by the buckles and slots, and then fixed by screws, making assembly more convenient.

[0053] In an embodiment of this utility model, a connecting groove 52 is provided on the outer periphery of the suction cup mounting plate 50, and a connecting protrusion 412 is provided on the outer periphery of the suction cup pad 41. The connecting protrusion 412 is connected to the connecting groove 52 and abuts against the inner wall of the groove 14.

[0054] Specifically, such as Figure 5 The connecting protrusion 412 is embedded in the connecting groove 52 and further abuts against the inner wall of the groove 14, forming a multiple fixing mechanism. This not only prevents the suction cup pad 41 from moving relative to the suction cup mounting plate 50, but also enhances the overall structural rigidity and improves the connection strength and stability between the suction cup pad 41 and the suction cup mounting plate 50.

[0055] The design of the connecting groove 52 and the connecting protrusion 412 ensures that the suction cup pad 41 can be accurately positioned on the suction cup mounting plate 50, avoiding deviations during the installation process. This ensures that each component can be installed accurately and flawlessly, guaranteeing the best adsorption effect. It also helps to create a better sealing environment and prevent dust from entering.

[0056] In an embodiment of this utility model, the box body 10 includes a box body 15 and a box cover 16. The box body 15 is provided with a first mounting surface 11 and a second mounting surface 12. The box body 15 has a groove 17 recessed in the first mounting surface 11 along its circumference. The magnetic attraction structure is placed in the groove 17. The box cover 16 covers the first mounting surface 11.

[0057] In detail, by placing the magnetic structure in the slot 17 and covering it with the lid 16, the concealed design avoids direct exposure of external components, enhances the overall aesthetics of the product, and effectively protects the magnetic structure from external environmental factors (such as dust, moisture, etc.).

[0058] The cover 16 provides an additional protective layer, reducing the risk of damage to the magnetic structure due to prolonged exposure and extending its service life. Meanwhile, the slot 17 design provides clear positioning guidance for the magnetic structure, simplifying the assembly process; when replacement or repair is needed, the magnetic structure can be easily accessed simply by opening the cover 16, without complicated disassembly steps.

[0059] In an embodiment of this utility model, the box body 15 includes an upper cover 151 and a lower cover 152. The upper cover 151 and the lower cover 152 are detachably connected and enclose the mounting space 13. The upper cover 151 is provided with a first mounting surface 11, and the lower cover 152 is provided with a second mounting surface 12.

[0060] Specifically, by providing a detachable upper cover 151 and lower cover 152, the enclosure 10 can be easily opened for hardware replacement, repair, or cleaning when needed. This simplifies the assembly process of the internal components of the enclosure 10, facilitates the assembly and maintenance of the portable hard drive 100, and makes subsequent maintenance or upgrades easier. The robust combination of the upper and lower covers 152 provides an additional layer of protection, ensuring that the internal hard drive 20 remains intact in the event of an accidental impact, enhancing the overall structural strength of the portable hard drive 100, and reducing the risk of damage caused by drops or other physical impacts.

[0061] In an embodiment of this utility model, the housing 10 is further provided with a connection port 18 and a USB-C interface 19 located at the connection port 18, and the USB-C interface 19 is electrically connected to the hard disk body 20.

[0062] In detail, the USB-C interface 19 enables the portable hard drive 100 to connect at high speed to various devices such as computers, laptops, game consoles, and televisions, facilitating data exchange. Furthermore, the magnetic and suction cup functions of the portable hard drive 100 provide greater convenience in office settings, home entertainment centers, or in-vehicle environments.
