Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of solid-state drives, and in particular to a quick-release solid-state drive. Background Technology

[0002] In the structural design of solid-state drives (SSDs), the assembly and disassembly methods of the casing directly affect the product's ease of use, maintenance convenience, and long-term reliability. Traditional SSD casings typically use screws for fixing, as described in Chinese patent publication "CN211879016U," where the top cover is locked to the bottom shell with bolts. While this method is structurally simple, traditional screw fixing requires tools such as screwdrivers, making the assembly and disassembly process cumbersome. This is especially problematic in applications requiring frequent SSD replacement or maintenance (such as data centers and servers), resulting in low operational efficiency. Furthermore, without a matching screwdriver, disassembly becomes difficult, impacting maintenance convenience. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the shortcomings mentioned above in the background technology, this utility model provides a quick-release solid-state drive.

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

[0005] A quick-release solid-state drive, characterized in that the solid-state drive comprises:

[0006] The lower housing has a connecting rod at its first end and a snap-fit ​​groove with a first magnetic block and a mounting groove at its last end. The mounting groove has a through hole extending to the side of the lower housing.

[0007] The upper cover plate has a hook at its first end and a snap-fit ​​part with a second magnetic block and a slot at its last end, wherein the second magnetic block and the first magnetic block repel each other.

[0008] A snap-fit ​​mechanism is provided, comprising a movable plate, a snap-fit ​​block, an operating rod, and a spring element. The snap-fit ​​block is provided on one side of the movable plate, and the operating rod is provided on the other side. The operating rod extends out of the through hole. The movable plate can move along the mounting groove, and the spring element is provided between the movable plate and the mounting groove.

[0009] The hook connects to the connecting rod, and pressing down the upper cover plate causes the snap-fit ​​part to insert into the snap-fit ​​groove. The snap-fit ​​block retracts into the mounting groove under pressure, and after aligning with the snap-fit ​​groove, the elastic element springs the snap-fit ​​block into the snap-fit ​​groove to complete the fixation.

[0010] As a further improvement, the upper cover and lower housing are made of metal.

[0011] As a further improvement, the upper cover and lower housing are made of aluminum alloy.

[0012] As a further improvement, the lower housing is provided with symmetrical connecting grooves at its front end, and the connecting rod is provided in the connecting groove.

[0013] As a further improvement, the elastic element is a spring, which is sleeved on the outside of the operating lever.

[0014] As a further improvement, the locking mechanism also includes an operating handle, wherein the operating rod passes through the through hole and is connected to the operating handle, and the diameter of the operating handle is larger than the diameter of the through hole.

[0015] 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: During assembly, the hook is hooked onto the connecting rod, and the upper cover plate is pressed down to insert the snap-fit ​​part into the snap-fit ​​groove. During the process, the snap-fit ​​block is compressed and retracts into the mounting groove, while the elastic element is compressed until the snap-fit ​​block is aligned with the groove. Then, the elastic element pushes the snap-fit ​​block into the groove to complete the fixation, thereby fixing the upper cover plate to the lower shell and realizing the rapid assembly of the solid-state drive. When it is necessary to disassemble the solid-state drive, simply pull the operating lever outward to move the movable plate and snap-fit ​​block, compressing the elastic element until the snap-fit ​​block disengages from the groove. At this time, the snap-fit ​​part is quickly lifted out of the snap-fit ​​groove with the assistance of the repulsive force between the second magnetic block and the first magnetic block, and then the upper cover plate can be quickly removed. This utility model realizes the rapid disassembly and assembly function of the solid-state drive through this design, which is particularly suitable for application scenarios that require frequent replacement of storage devices. At the same time, the anti-accidental contact design, which requires pulling the operating lever outward to remove the upper cover plate, reduces the risk of accidental disassembly and improves safety.

[0021] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] As attached Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, a quick-release solid-state drive (SSD) includes a lower housing 1, an upper cover 2, and a snap-fit ​​mechanism 3. The lower housing 1 has a connecting rod 12 at its first end and a snap-fit ​​groove 13 with a first magnetic block 5 and a mounting groove 14 at its second end. The snap-fit ​​mechanism 3 is located in the mounting groove 14. The upper cover 2 has a hook 21 at its first end and a snap-fit ​​part 22 with a second magnetic block 6 and a snap-fit ​​groove 221 at its second end. The second magnetic block 6 and the first magnetic block 5 repel each other. During assembly, the hook 21 is hooked onto the connecting rod 12, and the upper cover 2 is pressed down to insert the snap-fit ​​part 22 into the snap-fit ​​groove 13. Then, the snap-fit ​​mechanism 3 fixes the snap-fit ​​part 22 in the snap-fit ​​groove 13, thereby fixing the upper cover 2 onto the lower housing 1, achieving quick assembly of the SSD. When it is necessary to replace or repair the chip body 4 located inside the lower housing 1, the locking part 22 is released by the locking mechanism 3. At this time, the locking part 22 is quickly lifted out of the locking slot 13 with the assistance of the repulsive force between the second magnetic block 6 and the first magnetic block 5.

[0023] Preferably, the lower housing 1 has symmetrical connecting grooves 11 at its front end, and the connecting rod 12 is located in the connecting grooves 11. The hook 21 of the upper cover plate 2 is inserted into the connecting grooves 11 to hook the connecting rod 12, thus embedding the connecting rod 12 inside and reducing the risk of the connecting rod 12 breaking or being damaged during use or transportation.

[0024] Furthermore, the upper cover 2 and the lower casing 1 are made of metal, specifically aluminum alloy, to improve overall heat dissipation performance. Additionally, heat dissipation fins or a graphene thermal conductive layer can be added to the upper cover 2 to further enhance heat dissipation. The metal casing and extended heat dissipation design enable the solid-state drive of this invention to meet high-performance requirements.

[0025] As attached Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the locking mechanism 3 includes a movable plate 31, a locking block 32, an operating lever 335, and a spring element 34. The movable plate 31 has a locking block 32 on one side and an operating lever 33 on the other side. The operating lever 33 extends out of a through hole 15, which passes through the wall of the mounting groove 14 to the side of the lower housing 1. The movable plate 31 can move along the mounting groove 14, and a spring element 34 is provided between the movable plate 31 and the mounting groove 14. During the process of the locking part 22 being inserted into the locking groove 13, the locking block 32 is compressed and retracts into the mounting groove 14, simultaneously compressing the spring element 34 until the locking block 32 aligns with the locking groove 221. Then, the spring element 34 springs the locking block 32 into the locking groove 221 to complete the fixing. When the solid-state drive needs to be removed, simply pull the operating lever 33 outwards to move the movable plate 31 and the locking block 32, compressing the elastic element 34 until the locking block 32 disengages from the slot 221. At this point, the locking part 22 quickly lifts out of the locking slot 13 with the assistance of the repulsive force between the second magnetic block 6 and the first magnetic block 5, and then the upper cover plate 2 can be quickly removed. The elastic element 34 is a spring, and it is fitted around the outside of the operating lever 33.

[0026] Preferably, the locking mechanism 3 further includes an operating handle 3. The operating rod 33 passes through the through hole 15 and is connected to the operating handle 3. The operating handle 3 facilitates the pulling of the operating rod 33. If the diameter of the operating handle 3 is larger than the diameter of the through hole 15, the operating rod 33 can be prevented from disengaging from the through hole 15, thus affecting the assembly and disassembly of the solid-state drive.

[0027] Furthermore, both the contact points of the locking block 32 and the locking part 22 are designed with rounded corners, which facilitates contact and actuation between the two, thereby making it easier for the locking part 22 to push the locking block 32 to move.

[0028] In summary, during assembly, the hook 21 hooks onto the connecting rod 12, and the upper cover 2 is pressed down to insert the locking part 22 into the locking slot 13. During this process, the locking block 32 is compressed and retracts into the mounting slot 14, while simultaneously compressing the elastic member 34. Once the locking block 32 aligns with the slot 221, the elastic member 34 pushes the locking block 32 into the slot 221 for fixation, thus securing the upper cover 2 to the lower housing 1 and enabling rapid assembly of the solid-state drive (SSD). When disassembling the SSD, simply pull the operating lever 33 outwards to move the movable plate 31 and the locking block 32, compressing the elastic member 34 until the locking block 32 disengages from the slot 221. At this point, the locking part 22, aided by the repulsive force between the second magnetic block 6 and the first magnetic block 5, quickly lifts out of the slot 13, allowing the upper cover 2 to be quickly removed. This design enables rapid assembly and disassembly of the SSD, making it particularly suitable for applications requiring frequent storage device replacement. Meanwhile, the design of preventing accidental disassembly of the upper cover plate 2, which requires pulling outwards on the operating lever 335, reduces the risk of accidental disassembly and improves safety.

[0029] 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.
