Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of data accidental deletion protection devices, and in particular to a data accidental deletion protection device for solid-state drives. Background Technology

[0002] Data deletion recovery from solid-state drives (SSDs) typically relies on data buffers to protect and recover cached data, such as the data deletion protection device disclosed in patent application number 202220056595.2. However, such data buffer devices have significant drawbacks in practical applications: Firstly, during SSD data recovery, mechanical vibration or external accidental contact can easily loosen the SSD, causing poor interface contact or even loss of cached data. Secondly, the lack of an assisted ejection design makes removing the SSD inconvenient and results in a poor user experience. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the shortcomings mentioned above in the background technology, this utility model provides a data deletion protection device for solid-state drives.

[0004] The present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A data deletion protection device for a solid-state drive, the device comprising:

[0006] A hard drive rack is provided within a buffer, the hard drive rack having a hard drive bay for accommodating embedded solid-state drives;

[0007] A connector assembly is provided on the hard drive rack, the connector assembly including a data connector and an elastic element, the data connector being located inside the hard drive bay, and the elastic element being disposed between the data connector and the inner wall of the hard drive bay facing away from the hatch, the elastic element providing a thrust of the data connector toward the outside of the hard drive bay hatch;

[0008] A window panel is provided on the buffer, and the buffer is provided with an insertion port at the position corresponding to the hatch of the hard disk compartment. The insertion port corresponds to the hatch of the hard disk compartment. The window panel is pivotally connected to the side of the buffer panel facing inward of the buffer, and the size of the window panel is configured such that when the window panel is closed, the window panel covers the insertion port in the length or width direction.

[0009] In one possible implementation, the buffer panel is provided with connecting ears on both sides of the insertion port, the connecting ears are provided with through connecting holes, and the window panel is provided with protruding connecting pins on both sides. The two connecting pins are respectively inserted into the connecting holes of the two connecting ears to form a pivot connection structure of the window panel relative to the insertion port.

[0010] In one possible implementation, the window panel has protruding limiting portions on both sides of the connecting pin. A torsion spring is mounted on the connecting pin. One end of the torsion spring abuts against the inner surface of the buffer panel, and the other end of the torsion spring presses against the pressure-bearing plane of the limiting portion facing away from the panel. The reset torque of the torsion spring drives the limiting portion to be tightly attached to the buffer panel.

[0011] In one possible implementation, guide holes are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the hard disk compartment facing away from the hatch, and guide posts are provided on both sides of the data connector, with the two guide posts passing through the two guide holes in a clearance fit.

[0012] In one possible implementation, the elastic element is a helical spring, which is sleeved around the outer periphery of the guide post.

[0013] In one possible implementation, the connector assembly further includes a fixing plate, an adjusting member, and an adjusting bolt. The inner wall of the hard drive bay facing away from the hatch is the fixing plate. The fixing plate has a strip-shaped clearance opening. The side of the fixing plate facing the inside of the hard drive bay is connected to the adjusting member. The guide hole is provided in the adjusting member. The adjusting bolt passes through the clearance opening and the adjusting member from the outside of the hard drive frame and is screwed to the adjusting member for fastening.

[0014] As can be seen from the above description of the structure of this utility model, compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages: When the solid-state drive is inserted into the buffer of this utility model, the end of the solid-state drive with the data interface pushes the window plate into the hard drive compartment along the insertion port, causing the window plate to flip up, so that the data interface of the solid-state drive is pressed against the data connector, until the solid-state drive is completely pushed into the hard drive compartment, forcing the elastic element to compress and store energy, and at the same time the window plate flips down to reset; after the insertion is completed, the elastic restoring force of the elastic element generates a thrust towards the compartment opening, which simultaneously drives the data connector and the solid-state drive data interface to form a plug, and presses the solid-state drive tightly against the inner side of the window plate, achieving zero-gap mechanical locking and permanent data connection of the solid-state drive, and preventing the solid-state drive from loosening.

[0015] When you need to remove the solid-state drive (SSD), push the window panel into the buffer to open the insertion port. During this process, the window panel pushes the SSD into the drive bay and compresses the elastic element. After the window panel is fully flipped up above the SSD, the SSD is no longer blocked by the window panel and is pushed out of the insertion port by the thrust generated by the stretching of the elastic element. At this point, the SSD can be pulled out. The operation is very convenient and helps to improve the user experience. Attached Figure Description

Therefore, a feature defined with "first," "second," etc., may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0030] Furthermore, in this application, directional terms such as "upper" and "lower" are defined relative to the indicated placement of the components in the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these directional terms are relative concepts, used for relative description and clarification, and can change accordingly depending on the placement of the components in the accompanying drawings.

[0031] This utility model provides a data accidental deletion protection device for a solid-state drive 5, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the device includes a hard drive bay 2, a connector assembly 3, and a window panel 4. The hard drive bay 2 is housed within the buffer 1, and the hard drive bay 2 contains, as shown in the attached... Figure 10 and 11 The setup shown includes multiple hard drive bays 201, which are used to accommodate embedded solid-state drives 5. See also the appendix. Figure 2 and 12 Each hard drive rack 2 is equipped with a connector assembly 3 corresponding to the position of each hard drive bay 201. Each buffer 1 is equipped with an insertion port 101 corresponding to the position of the hatch of each hard drive bay 201. The panel 11 of the buffer 1 is pivotally connected to a window plate 4 at each insertion port 101 position, and the window plate 4 is located on the side of the panel 11 facing the inside of the buffer 1.

[0032] As attached Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the panel 11 of the buffer 1 has connecting ears 12 on both sides of the insertion port 101. Each connecting ear 12 has a through connecting hole. Both sides of the window panel 4 have protruding connecting pins 41. The two connecting pins 41 are respectively inserted into the connecting holes of the two connecting ears 12, forming a pivotal connection structure of the window panel 4 relative to the insertion port 101. Further, refer to the attached... Figure 3 The dimensions of the window panel 4 are configured such that, when closed, it covers the insertion opening 101 in either the length or width direction. This size ensures that the window panel 4 is contained within the buffer 1 by the panel 11, guaranteeing that it can only be flipped inwards towards the hard drive bay 201 and cannot be opened outwards. This design uses geometric constraints to keep the window panel 4 always within the buffer 1. When the solid-state drive 5 is pressed into the bay, the window panel 4 is blocked by the edge of the bay opening, forming a one-way flipping mechanism. This effectively prevents the window panel 4 from being pushed out of the buffer 1 during the process of the solid-state drive 5 being pressed against the window panel 4 by the connector assembly 3.

[0033] As attached Figure 4 , 8As shown in Figure 9, the connector assembly 3 includes a data connector 31 and an elastic element 32. The data connector 31 is disposed inside the hard disk compartment 201, and the elastic element 32 is disposed between the data connector 31 and the inner wall of the hard disk compartment 201 facing away from the hatch. When the solid-state drive 5 is inserted, the end of the solid-state drive 5 with the data interface is pushed into the hard disk compartment 201 along the insertion port 101, causing the window plate 4 to flip up, so that the data interface of the solid-state drive 5 is pressed against the data connector 31, until the solid-state drive 5 is completely pushed into the hard disk compartment 201, forcing the elastic element 32 to compress and store energy, while the window plate 4 flips down to reset; after insertion, the elastic restoring force of the elastic element 32 generates a linear thrust toward the insertion port 101, which simultaneously drives the data connector 31 to form a plug with the data interface of the solid-state drive 5, and presses the solid-state drive 5 tightly against the inner side of the window plate 4, achieving zero-gap mechanical locking and persistent data connection of the solid-state drive 5.

[0034] Continue to refer to the appendix Figure 4 and 8 Guide holes 301 are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the hard disk compartment 201 facing away from the hatch. Guide posts 311 are fixed on both sides of the data connector 31. The two guide posts 311 pass through the two guide holes 301 with clearance fit, thereby restricting the data connector 31 to only move in a straight line relative to the hard disk compartment 201. Furthermore, the elastic element 32 is a helical spring, which is sleeved on the outer periphery of the guide post 311 to form a limit for the elastic element 32.

[0035] As attached Figure 6 and 7 As shown, the window panel 4 has protruding limiting parts 42 on both sides of the connecting pin 41. The connecting pin 41 is inserted through the pin. One end of the torsion arm 431 of the torsion spring 43 abuts against the inner surface of the panel 11 of the buffer 1, and the other end of the torsion arm 431 presses against the pressure-bearing plane of the limiting part 42 facing away from the panel 11. When the solid-state drive 5 is pushed into the hard drive compartment 201 of the buffer 1 along the insertion port 101, the solid-state drive 5 pushes the window panel 4 to flip inward and upward. The limiting part 42 simultaneously drives the torsion arm 431 of the torsion spring 43 to deform and store energy. After the solid-state drive 5 is completely inserted into the hard drive compartment 201 and detached from the window panel 4, the torsion spring 43 releases the stored torque, drives the limiting part 42 to reset and fit tightly against the panel 11, realizing the automatic closing of the window panel 4. This process ensures that the window panel 4 is opened only by internal thrust through mechanical linkage, while external pressure enhances the sealing performance.

[0036] When it is necessary to remove the solid-state drive 5, push the window plate 4 inward into the buffer 1 to open the insertion port 101. Then, the solid-state drive 5, no longer obstructed by the window plate 4, is pushed out of the insertion port 101 by the thrust generated by the stretching of the elastic member 32, and can then be pulled out. (See attached...) Figure 7The window panel 4 bends inward toward the buffer 1 to form a bend. A rotatable roller 44 is located at the middle of the end of this bend, and its rolling contact surface is used for dynamic planar matching with the solid-state drive 5. Specifically, as the solid-state drive 5 is pushed into the buffer 1 along the insertion port 101 into the hard drive bay 201, the roller 44 rolls synchronously with the window panel 4, guiding the hard drive precisely into position along the bay's slide rail, while simultaneously compressing the elastic element 32 to store energy. During the process of pushing the window panel 4 upward toward the buffer 1, the roller 44 first contacts the solid-state drive 5, causing it to move into the hard drive bay 201 and compressing the elastic element 32. This roller 44 structure converts the sliding friction on the solid-state drive 5's insertion / removal path into rolling friction through the rolling contact interface, creating a linkage between the window panel 4's flipping action and the solid-state drive 5's displacement. This avoids scratches on the solid-state drive 5's casing caused by hard friction and ensures a reduction in the torque required to push the solid-state drive 5 in, significantly improving the smoothness of the insertion / removal operation, making it particularly suitable for rapid replacement needs in high-frequency maintenance scenarios.

[0037] In addition, the connector assembly 3 may also include a fixing plate 33, an adjusting member 34, and an adjusting bolt 35. The inner wall of the hard disk compartment 201 facing away from the hatch is the fixing plate 33. The fixing plate 33 has a strip-shaped clearance opening 302, which extends parallel to both sides of the hard disk compartment 201. A guide hole 301 is provided in the adjusting member 34, and the diameter of the guide hole 301 is smaller than the width of the clearance opening 302, so that the guide post 311 can pass through the clearance opening 302 to the outside of the hard disk compartment 201. The adjusting member 34 is attached to the side of the fixing plate 33 facing the inside of the hard disk compartment 201. The adjusting bolt 35 passes through the clearance opening 302 from the outside of the hard disk rack 2 and is screwed to the adjusting member 34 for fastening, thereby achieving relative locking between the adjusting member 34 and the fixing plate 33. When the adjusting bolt 35 is loosened, the adjusting component 34 can move horizontally along the long axis of the clearance opening 302, causing the guide hole 301 to move synchronously with the data connector 31 inside the hard drive bay 201. After the adjusting bolt 35 is tightened, a stable position is formed. This structure, through mechanical decoupling design, allows the lateral position of the data connector 31 to be dynamically matched with the interface position of different models of solid-state drives 5.

[0038] In summary, this utility model provides multiple hard drive bays 201 within the hard drive rack 2. Each hard drive bay 201 contains a data connector 31 assembly 3, consisting of a data connector 31 and an elastic element 32. The elastic pre-tightening force of the elastic element 32 achieves zero-gap locking between the solid-state drive 5 inserted and the window plate 4 at the opening of the hard drive bay 201. The window plate 4 achieves unidirectional rotation through a pivoting structure of the connecting lug 12 and the connecting pin 41. Combined with the linkage of the limiting part 42 and the torsion spring 43, this ensures that the window plate 4 can only open inwards and automatically closes, preventing accidental contact that could cause the data interface to loosen. Furthermore, the structure of the adjusting bolt 35 and the strip-shaped clearance slot 302 supports dynamic calibration of the lateral position of the data connector 31, adapting to different hard drive interfaces. The entire device achieves self-locking during hard drive insertion and removal, prevention of accidental opening, and adaptive interface adjustment through mechanical linkage design, balancing data connection stability and ease of maintenance.

[0039] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the design concept of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any non-substantial modifications made to this utility model using this concept shall be considered as an infringement of the protection scope of this utility model.
