[0024] This utility model proposes a portable hard drive, such as... Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, the portable hard drive is an encrypted portable hard drive. The portable hard drive includes a first housing 10, a second housing 20, and a circuit module 30. The sum of the thicknesses of the first housing 10 and the second housing 20, which are joined together, is 6 to 20 millimeters. The circuit module 30 is fixedly disposed in the cavity between the first housing 10 and the second housing 20. The second housing 20 has a first protruding component 21 and a second protruding component 22 on two sides opposite to the circuit module 30. The height of the first protruding component 21 relative to the second housing 20 is greater than the thickness of the circuit module 30, and the height of the second protruding component 22 relative to the second housing 20 is also greater than the thickness of the circuit module 30. The thickness of the portable hard drive can be 8 millimeters, 10 millimeters, 12 millimeters, 14 millimeters, 16 millimeters, or 18 millimeters. Compared with the prior art, the above solution enhances the stability of the internal circuit module.

[0025] Specifically, the first protruding component 21 and the second protruding component 22 tightly clamp the two opposing sides of the circuit module 30.

[0026] Specifically, the second housing 20 is planar on the side facing the cavity, and the circuit module 30, the first protruding component 21, and the second protruding component 22 are all fixedly mounted on this planar surface. The geometric center of the circuit module 30 is positioned relative to a plane parallel to the second housing 20, and the positions of the first protruding component 21 and the second protruding component 22 are symmetrically arranged with respect to the geometric center of the circuit module 30. This symmetrical arrangement with respect to the geometric center is more conducive to improving stability. In one embodiment, the first protruding component 21 is a magnetic ring, and the second protruding component 22 is also a magnetic ring. Installed on the inner side, it can support the magnetic fixation of Apple iPhone MagSafe. The specific principle is known to those skilled in the art; see the working principle of a magnetic wireless charging bank.

Optionally, the first protruding component arc-shapedly covers the side of the circuit module, and the second protruding component arc-shapedly covers the side of the circuit module; the technical effect is that by reducing the degree of isolation on both sides of the protruding component, the heat dissipation effect of the portable hard drive can be further improved.

[0028] Specifically, the main circuit 31 of the circuit module 30 is equipped with a touch screen MCU module 32 and a screen ribbon cable terminal 33. The touch screen MCU module 32 is connected to the screen ribbon cable terminal 33, and the screen ribbon cable terminal 33 is connected to a capacitive touch display screen 11 in the opposite direction to the second housing 20. The capacitive touch display screen 11 is connected to the first housing 10. The portable hard drive serves as an encrypted portable hard drive, and encryption is achieved by the user touching the touch screen MCU module using a password or fingerprint.

[0029] Specifically, the distance from the capacitive touch display screen 11 to the second housing 20 is greater than the distance from the circuit module 30 to the second housing 20. The opening slot of the first housing 10 is located on the side away from the second housing 20, and the opening slot of the first housing 10 surrounds the side of the capacitive touch display screen 11.

[0030] Specifically, the main circuit 31 of the circuit module 30 is further provided with a main control chip 41 and a flash memory chip 51. The main control chip 41 and the flash memory chip 51 are communicatively connected. The main control chip 41 is also communicatively connected to the touch screen MCU module 32 to realize signal transmission with the capacitive touch display screen 11. The flash memory chip 51 is located on the back of the main circuit 31, and the main control chip 41 is located on the front of the main circuit 31.

[0031] Specifically, the main circuit 31 of the circuit module 30 is also provided with a power management chip 61 and a USB-C interface 71. The main control chip 41 is communicatively connected to the USB-C interface 71, the USB-C interface 71 is electrically connected to the power management chip 61, the power management chip 61 is electrically connected to the touch screen MCU module 32, and the power management chip 61 is electrically connected to the main control chip 41.

[0032] In one embodiment, see details. Figure 6 As shown, this utility model also proposes a screen-display PSSD device, which includes a hard drive storage device and a portable hard drive as described in any of the above embodiments. The portable hard drive is disposed inside the hard drive storage device. The hard drive storage device includes a transparent soft layer, which and the first housing are disposed on the same side. When subjected to force, the transparent soft layer can be tightly attached to the capacitive touch screen of the portable hard drive.

[0033] In summary, overseas users place greater emphasis on the security and privacy of portable hard drives. Domestic portable hard drive manufacturers, responding to this demand, have developed products with improved security and privacy. However, the addition of functional modules can negatively impact other performance aspects of the portable hard drive, such as its slimness and stability, thus affecting after-sales service evaluations.
