During assembly, the hard drive 20 is first detachably fixed to the hard drive cover 30, and then the hard drive cover 30 is detachably connected to the housing 10 to complete the installation. When the hard drive 20 needs to be removed and replaced, it can be taken out of the housing 10 by removing the hard drive cover 30. The hard drive cover 30 and the hard drive 20 constitute a hard drive assembly. This assembly design is simple and convenient to operate. Specifically, the housing 10 is the housing 10 of the dashcam.

[0032] In this embodiment, the housing 10 is provided with a mounting groove 40 that matches the shape of the hard drive cover 30. The bottom of the mounting groove 40 is open, and the mounting groove 40 is provided with a plurality of first fixing holes 401. The hard drive cover 30 is provided with a first connecting hole 301 that matches the first fixing hole 401. It also includes a first fixing member 50, which passes through both the first fixing hole 401 and the first connecting hole 301 to fix the hard drive cover 30 to the housing 10, ensuring that the hard drive 20 is stably positioned within the housing 10 and will not detach during use. Furthermore, the height of the mounting groove 40 is equal to the height of the hard drive cover 30, allowing the hard drive cover 30 to be completely embedded in the mounting groove 40, and preventing unevenness on the housing 10, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing overall appearance.

[0033] In this embodiment, the edge of the opening is provided with several receiving members 402. One end of each receiving member 402 is connected to the mounting groove 40, and the other end abuts against the side of the hard disk 20 away from the hard disk cover 30. These members are used to receive the hard disk 20 and fix it within the housing 10, preventing the hard disk 20 from being bumped or knocked during use. Further, each receiving member 402 includes several first abutting pieces 4041 perpendicular to the mounting groove 40. A second abutting piece 4042 extends vertically from the end of each first abutting piece 4041 away from the hard disk cover, and abuts against the side of the hard disk 20 away from the hard disk cover 30. In some embodiments, the first abutting pieces 4041 and the second abutting pieces 4042 are fitted to the sides and bottom of the hard disk 20.

Furthermore, the hard disk cover 30 is provided with a mounting post 302 that matches the second connection hole 602. The end face of the mounting post 302 is coaxially provided with a second fixing hole, and the depth of the second fixing hole is less than the length of the mounting post 302. In some embodiments, a protrusion 603 is also provided inside the second connecting hole 602. During connection, the second fixing member 70 passes through the second connecting hole 602 and abuts against the protrusion 603. One end of the second fixing member 70 is fixed in the second fixing hole of the mounting post 302. The height of the mounting post 302 is greater than the distance from the protrusion 603 to the hard disk cover 30, so that the connector 601 will not rub against the hard disk cover 30.
