[0038] This utility model embodiment provides a bracket 1, as shown in the reference... Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3The bracket 1 includes a base 11 and a cover 12; the base 11 includes a base body 111 and a first base support wall 112 and a second base support wall 113 extending from two adjacent sides of the base body 111 in a direction perpendicular to the base body 111; the cover 12 includes a first cover support wall 121 and a second cover support wall 122 extending from one side of the first cover support wall 121 in a direction perpendicular to the first cover support wall 121; the base body 111 and / or the second base support wall 122... A first snap-fit ​​structure 114 is provided on the wall 113, and a second snap-fit ​​structure 123 is provided on the first cover support wall 121 and / or the second cover support wall 122. The second snap-fit ​​structure 123 snaps into the first snap-fit ​​structure 114, so that the first cover support wall 121 is connected to the frame body 111 and is opposite to the first frame support wall 112. The second cover support wall 122 is connected to the second frame support wall 113, so that the frame 11 and the cover 12 cooperate to form a snap-fit ​​space for installing the hard disk 4.

[0039] As an example, the bracket 1 can be used, but is not limited to, within a hard drive module to support the hard drive 4. The bracket 1 includes a base 11 and a cover 12; the base 11 includes a base body 111, a first base support wall 112, and a second base support wall 113; the first base support wall 112 and the second base support wall 113 are two components extending from two adjacent sides of the base body 111 in a direction perpendicular to the base body 111. The first base support wall 112 and the second base support wall 113 are perpendicular to each other and may or may not be connected. The base body 111, the first base support wall 112, and the second base support wall 113 cooperate to form a semi-enclosed seat structure that can be used to install the hard drive 4. The cover 12 includes a first cover support wall 121 and a second cover support wall 122. The second cover support wall 122 is a component that extends from one side edge of the first cover support wall 121 in a direction perpendicular to the first cover support wall 121. The first cover support wall 121 and the second cover support wall 122 cooperate to form an L-shaped structure. A first snap-fit ​​structure 114 is provided on the main body 111 of the frame and / or the second frame support wall 113, and a second snap-fit ​​structure 123 is provided on the first cover support wall 121 and / or the second cover support wall 122. Specifically, the first snap-fit ​​structure 114 includes a snap-fit ​​groove 1141 provided on the main body 111 of the frame and a first snap-fit ​​plate buckle 1142 provided on the second frame support wall 113. The second snap-fit ​​structure 123 includes a snap-fit ​​buckle 1231 provided on the first cover support wall 121 and a second snap-fit ​​plate buckle 1232 provided on the second cover support wall 122. During assembly, the second snap-fit ​​structure 123 is snapped into the first snap-fit ​​structure 114. In other words, by engaging the snap-fit ​​buckle 1231 within the snap-fit ​​groove 1141, and engaging the second snap-fit ​​plate buckle 1232 with the first snap-fit ​​plate buckle 1142, the first cover support wall 121 can be connected to the frame body 111 and positioned opposite the first frame support wall 112. The second cover support wall 122 is connected to the second frame support wall 113. The L-shaped structure is engaged within the semi-enclosed base structure, allowing the frame 11 (frame body 111, first frame support wall 112 and second frame support wall 113) and the cover 12 (first cover support wall 121 and second cover support wall 122) to form a snap-fit ​​space, facilitating the installation of the hard drive 4. The protrusion on the second snap-fit ​​plate buckle 1232 matches the groove on the first snap-fit ​​plate buckle 1142. By designing the position of the protrusion and / or the groove, the opening and closing movement of the cover 12 and the frame 11 can be controlled. The second bracket support wall 113 is provided with heat dissipation holes 115. There are multiple heat dissipation holes 115, which are spaced apart on the second bracket support wall 113. This can enhance the heat dissipation capacity of the bracket 1 and prevent the hard drive 4 from overheating and being damaged.

[0040] In this example, during the installation of hard drive 4 on bracket 1, hard drive 4 is first placed on bracket 11, and then bracket cover 12 is snapped onto bracket 11. This snaps hard drive 4 into the snap-fit ​​space formed by bracket 11 and bracket cover 12. This configuration utilizes the snap-fit ​​relationship between the first snap-fit ​​structure 114 and the second snap-fit ​​structure 123 to assemble bracket 1 from bracket 1 using a snap-fit ​​method, facilitating the assembly and disassembly of bracket 1. Bracket 11 and bracket cover 12 can move a certain distance relative to each other through the snap-fit ​​method. During this process, hard drive 4 can be fixed on or removed from bracket 1 without the need for tools. The assembly and disassembly of bracket 1 and hard drive 4 can be achieved without tools, making the process convenient, simple, time-saving, and labor-saving, thus improving work efficiency. At the same time, it also makes the design of bracket 1 more ingenious, and the overall assembly is smooth and convenient, enhancing the user experience.

[0041] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 The inner side of the first bracket support wall 112 and / or the inner side of the first cover support wall 121 is provided with a buffer positioning post 2, which is used to connect with the fixing hole on the hard disk 4; the inner side of the second bracket support wall 113 and / or the inner side of the second cover support wall 122 is provided with a buffer pad 3, which is used to correspond to the fixing hole on the hard disk 4.

[0042] As an example, buffer positioning posts 2 are provided on the inner side of the first bracket support wall 112 and / or the inner side of the first cover support wall 121. The buffer positioning posts 2 are inserted into the fixing holes on the hard drive 4. When the cover 12 is snapped onto the bracket 11, the buffer positioning posts 2 press the hard drive 4, providing excellent shock protection and also serving as a limiting function. Buffer pads 3 are provided on the inner side of the second bracket support wall 113 and / or the inner side of the second cover support wall 122. The buffer pads 3 are correspondingly positioned to the fixing holes on the hard drive 4. When the cover 12 is snapped onto the bracket 11, the buffer pads 3 press the hard drive 4, providing excellent shock protection. In this example, by providing buffer positioning posts 2 and buffer pads 3, effective mechanical shock absorption and cushioning protection can be provided for the hard drive 4 during operation. The buffer positioning post 2 is made of silicone and is bonded to the inner side of the first frame support wall 112 and / or the inner side of the first frame cover support wall 121 using 3M double-sided adhesive. The buffer pad 3 can be made of EVA buffer foam and is bonded to the inner side of the second frame support wall 113 and / or the inner side of the second frame cover support wall 122 using 3M double-sided adhesive.

[0043] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The outer side of the first support wall 112 and / or the outer side of the first cover support wall 121 are provided with a first guide rail structure 13 arranged in a direction perpendicular to the support body 111. The first guide rail structure 13 is used to be movably connected to the second guide rail structure 6 on the hard disk compartment 5.

[0044] As an example, a first guide rail structure 13 is provided on the outer side of the first bracket support wall 112 and / or the outer side of the first cover support wall 121, arranged in a direction perpendicular to the bracket body 111. The first guide rail structure 13 is movably connected to the second guide rail structure 6 on the hard disk compartment 5. Specifically, the first guide rail structure 13 is a track, and the second guide rail structure 6 is a guide protrusion. The guide protrusion is movably installed in the track. With this arrangement, the bracket 1 can be smoothly inserted and removed in the hard disk compartment 5 using the first guide rail structure 13 and the second guide rail structure 6. This facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the hard disk module (the combined structure formed by the hard disk 4 assembled on the bracket 1). The assembly and disassembly of the hard disk module can be achieved without the aid of tools. The assembly and disassembly process is convenient and simple, saves time and effort, and improves work efficiency.

[0045] There are three arrangements for the first guide rail structure 13: the first is that the first guide rail structure 13 is only provided on the outside of the first frame support wall 112; the second is that the first guide rail structure 13 is only provided on the outside of the first cover support wall 121; and the third is that the first guide rail structure 13 is provided on the outside of the first frame support wall 112 and also on the outside of the first cover support wall 121.

[0046] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 2 The first guide rail structure 13 is provided with an elastic protrusion 14, which is used to abut against the second guide rail structure 6.

[0047] As an example, an elastic protrusion 14 is provided on the first guide rail structure 13. Specifically, an arched protrusion is provided on the inner wall of the rail. The arched protrusion abuts against the second guide rail structure 6 on the hard disk compartment 5. The arched protrusion can undergo elastic deformation to achieve slight compression and sliding of the second guide rail structure 6, making the direction of the in-and-out movement between the second guide rail structure 6 and the first guide rail structure 13 more precise, ensuring that the bracket 1 can be smoothly inserted and removed in the hard disk compartment 5, which is conducive to the assembly and disassembly of the hard disk module (the combined structure formed by the hard disk 4 assembled on the bracket 1).

[0048] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The main body 111 of the bracket is provided with a locking component 15, which is used to connect or not connect with the hard disk compartment 5 to lock or unlock the bracket 1.

[0049] As an example, a locking component 15 is provided on the main body 111 of the bracket. Specifically, a receiving space is provided in the main body 111 of the bracket away from the first bracket support wall 112 and the second bracket support wall 113. The locking component 15 is rotatably installed in the receiving space, so that the locking component 15 is connected to or disconnected from the hard drive bay 5, thereby locking or unlocking the bracket 1. When the locking component 15 is connected to the hard drive bay 5, the bracket 1 can be locked, so that the bracket 1 and the hard drive bay 5 are locked. At this time, the hard drive module cannot be pulled out from the hard drive bay 5 to prevent the hard drive module from falling out accidentally during operation. When the locking component 15 is not connected to the hard drive bay 5, the bracket 1 is unlocked, so that the bracket 1 and the hard drive bay 5 are unlocked. At this time, the hard drive module can be easily pulled out from the hard drive bay 5. The locking component 15 can also be used as a handle to facilitate the insertion and removal of hard drive modules by the operator.

[0050] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 The locking assembly 15 includes a connecting shaft 151, a movable plate 152, and an elastic element 153. The first end of the movable plate 152 is rotatably mounted on the frame body 111 via the connecting shaft 151. The first end of the elastic element 153 is connected to the movable plate 152, and the second end of the elastic element 153 is connected to the frame body 111. The first end of the movable plate 152 is provided with a limiting element 154, and the second end of the movable plate 152 is provided with a snap-fit ​​element 155. The elastic element 153 drives the movable plate 152 to rotate, so that the limiting element 154 is used to connect with or not connect with the hard disk compartment 5, and the snap-fit ​​element 155 is snap-fitted with or not snap-fitted with the frame body 111.

[0051] As an example, the locking assembly 15 includes a connecting shaft 151, a movable plate 152, and an elastic element 153. During installation, the first end of the movable plate 152 is rotatably mounted on the frame body 111 via the connecting shaft 151. Specifically, two concentric holes are provided on two opposite side walls of the accommodating space on the frame body 111. The connecting shaft 151 passes through the two concentric holes, and the first end of the movable plate 152 is fitted onto the connecting shaft 151, so that the movable plate 152 can rotate around the axis of the connecting shaft 151. The first end of the elastic element 153 is connected to the movable plate 152, and the second end of the elastic element 153 is connected to the frame body 111. Specifically, a first mounting groove is provided on the inner wall of the accommodating space on the frame body 111, and a second mounting groove is provided on the movable plate 152 near its first end. The first end of the elastic element 153 is installed in the first mounting groove, and the second end of the elastic element 153 is installed in the second mounting groove. Utilizing the elastic force of the elastic element 153, the movable plate 152 can be driven to rotate around the axis of the transition shaft 151. The elastic element 153 can be a spring. A limiting member 154 is provided at the first end of the movable plate 152, and a snap-fit ​​member 155 is provided at the second end of the movable plate 152. The elastic member 153 drives the movable plate 152 to rotate, so that the limiting member 154 can be engaged with or not engaged with the hard drive bay 5, and the snap-fit ​​member 155 can be engaged with or not engaged with the frame body 111. When the elastic member 153 is in the telescopic state under normal conditions, the movable plate 152 is opened by the elastic member 153 under normal conditions, the movable plate 152 is located outside the accommodating space, the limiting member 154 is not engaged with the hard drive bay 5, and the snap-fit ​​member 155 is engaged with the frame body. When the main body 111 is not engaged, the bracket 1 and the hard drive compartment 5 are unlocked, and the hard drive module can be easily pulled out of the hard drive compartment 5. By manually pushing the movable plate 152 to rotate, the elastic element 153 can be compressed, and the movable plate 152 is located in the accommodating space. The limiting element 154 is connected to the hard drive compartment 5, and the locking element 155 is engaged with the main body 111 of the bracket. At this time, the bracket 1 and the hard drive compartment 5 are locked, and the hard drive module cannot be pulled out of the hard drive compartment 5 to prevent the hard drive module from falling out accidentally during operation. In addition, when the elastic element 153 is in a compressed state under normal conditions, the movable plate 152 is pulled taut by the elastic element 153 under normal conditions. The movable plate 152 is located within the accommodating space, the limiting element 154 is connected to the hard drive bay 5, and the locking element 155 is locked to the frame body 111. At this time, the bracket 1 and the hard drive bay 5 are locked, and the hard drive module cannot be pulled out from the hard drive bay 5 to prevent the hard drive module from falling out accidentally during operation. By manually pulling the movable plate 152 to rotate, the elastic element 153 can be in a telescopic state, the movable plate 152 is located outside the accommodating space, the limiting element 154 is not connected to the hard drive bay 5, and the locking element 155 is not locked to the frame body 111. At this time, the bracket 1 and the hard drive bay 5 are unlocked, and the hard drive module can be easily pulled out from the hard drive bay 5.The frame body 111 has a through groove at the first end that communicates with the accommodating space. The limiting member 154 can move within the through groove to connect or disconnect with the hard disk compartment 5. The frame body 111 has a snap-fit ​​block at the second end (located inside or outside the accommodating space). The snap-fit ​​member 155 is a spring-loaded buckle. The spring-loaded buckle can engage or disengage with the snap-fit ​​block to lock or unlock the movable plate 152.

The first bracket support wall 112 and the second bracket support wall 113 are perpendicular to each other and may be connected or not connected. The bracket body 111, the first bracket support wall 112 and the second bracket support wall 113 cooperate to form a semi-enclosed seat structure that can be used to install the hard drive 4. The cover 12 includes a first cover support wall 121 and a second cover support wall 122.

[0056] In recent years, the market has seen an increasing number of network storage devices (NAS) or similar products for personal or home use. Unlike large servers used in companies, these products enable real-time data transfer, storage, backup, processing, and sharing across multiple electronic devices in a user's or family's household, such as AI cameras, mobile phones, and computers. In simple terms, they can be seen as expanding the storage space of these devices, or acting as a private cloud server for individuals and families. Capacities can reach several terabytes, tens of terabytes, or even hundreds of terabytes. Data storage is achieved through physical hard drives (e.g., hard drive modules), and the capacity is often determined by the size of these drives. However, the relationship between the quality, capacity, and price of physical hard drives is sensitive; larger capacities generally mean higher prices. Ultimately, the choice depends on the user's specific needs, so NAS products typically do not include physical hard drives. Therefore, using NAS products inevitably involves installing and removing physical hard drives. The ease and reliability of these operations directly impact the user experience and, consequently, their choice and purchase decision.
