Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hard disk technology, specifically a portable solid-state drive. Background Technology
[0002] Portable solid-state drives (SSDs) meet users' needs for high-performance, high-capacity, and portable storage devices, and are widely used in data backup, content creation, gaming, and video editing. A search revealed a Chinese patent publication number, CN222300317U, which discloses a portable SSD. While this SSD offers convenient protection for the connector when not in use for extended periods, preventing dust and other contaminants from adhering and effectively extending its lifespan, its main body is largely exposed. This results in poor protection for the SSD, and the connector needs to be manually closed when not in use. This can easily lead to forgetting to close it, allowing external dust to enter and affect future use. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a portable solid-state drive that solves the problems mentioned in the background art, such as poor protection of existing hard drives and the ease with which the dust cover at the end can be forgotten to be closed.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a portable solid-state drive (SSD) includes a hard drive casing, a hard drive body, a guide groove, and threaded posts. Mounting holes are provided at both ends of the hard drive casing for overall installation and fixation of the SSD. A dust cover is provided at one end of the hard drive casing, and a rotating shaft is welded to the top of the dust cover. The two ends of the rotating shaft are rotatably connected to the two sides of the hard drive casing. A coil spring is embedded at the top of the dust cover, and the coil spring is fitted outside the rotating shaft. One end of the coil spring is in contact with the surface of the dust cover, and the other end of the coil spring is in contact with the surface of the casing. The hard drive body is disposed inside the hard drive casing, and a plug is provided at one end of the hard drive body.
[0005] Preferably, the hard disk body has sliding grooves on both sides, and the sliding grooves slide in contact with two guide grooves respectively. The two guide grooves are welded to both sides of the inner wall of the hard disk casing. The sliding contact design between the sliding grooves and the guide grooves makes the movement of the hard disk body inside the hard disk casing more stable. This structure restricts the movement direction of the hard disk body and prevents it from shifting or shaking during installation or disassembly, thereby improving the structural stability of the entire device.
[0006] Preferably, one end of the guide groove has an arc-shaped structure, and the guide groove and the slide groove surfaces fit tightly together. The arc-shaped end structure makes it easier for the hard drive body to be aligned and enter the guide groove when inserted into the hard drive casing, reducing the alignment difficulty during installation and further improving the convenience of user operation.
[0007] Preferably, the top surface of the hard drive casing has a strip-shaped through hole, and the top surface of the hard drive body has a circular groove. The circular groove on the top surface of the hard drive body is aligned with the strip-shaped through hole on the top surface of the hard drive casing. After the strip-shaped through hole on the top of the hard drive casing and the circular groove on the top of the hard drive body are aligned, the user can easily push the hard drive body to disassemble or install by inserting a finger into the through hole and into the groove. This avoids the need for complicated tools or operating steps to remove the hard drive body, greatly improving the convenience of user operation.
[0008] Preferably, the top of the hard drive body is threadedly connected to two threaded posts, the bottom end of each threaded post is tightly fitted to the top surface of the hard drive body, the bottom of each threaded post is made of rubber, and a knob is welded to the top end of each threaded post. The tight fit between the bottom of each threaded post and the top surface of the hard drive body further enhances the fixing effect, prevents the hard drive body from shaking inside the hard drive casing, and thus improves the reliability of the overall device.
[0009] This invention provides a portable solid-state drive. It has the following advantages:
[0010] (1) The portable solid-state drive, during use, by lifting the dust cover at one end of the hard drive casing upwards, the spring is compressed, thereby exposing the plug at one end of the hard drive body for connection with an external data cable; at this time, due to the presence of the data cable, the dust cover remains in the lifted state and cannot be closed; when the hard drive is not in use, after unplugging the data cable, the dust cover automatically rotates and closes under the elastic restoring force of the spring, effectively preventing the situation of forgetting to close the dust cover due to negligence; at the same time, the presence of the hard drive casing provides good protection for the hard drive body.
[0011] (2) This portable solid-state drive can be fixed inside the computer case through the mounting holes on both sides of the hard drive casing. When it is necessary to remove the hard drive body inside, there is no need to loosen the bolts connecting both sides of the hard drive casing with tools. Just loosen the knob and push the round hole on the top of the hard drive body to move the hard drive body out from one end of the hard drive casing. This greatly improves the convenience of disassembling the hard drive body. During installation, just lift the dust cover, insert the hard drive body into the hard drive casing, and then tighten the knob so that the threaded post at the bottom of the knob can abut against the top surface of the hard drive body, so that the hard drive body can be quickly fixed inside the hard drive casing.
[0012] This solves the problem of poor protection of existing hard drives and the ease with which the dust cover at the end can be forgotten to be closed. Attached Figure Description
