Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of storage technology, and in particular to a storage device with a built-in fixing device. Background Technology

[0002] In computer hardware, data storage devices, and industrial control systems, storage devices (such as solid-state drives (SSDs), hard disk drives (HDDs), or memory modules) typically need to be installed in chassis, servers, or specialized equipment, and their secure mounting must be ensured to prevent poor contact or damage caused by vibration, impact, or frequent plugging and unplugging.

[0003] Existing memory mounting methods still have the following technical problems:

[0004] Inconvenient installation and disassembly: Traditional storage devices mostly use screws or clips for fixing, requiring tools (such as screwdrivers) for installation and disassembly, making the operation cumbersome and hindering quick maintenance or replacement. Some tool-free designs rely on simple plastic clips, but these are prone to loosening after long-term use, resulting in unstable fixation.

[0005] Insufficient vibration resistance and stability: In industrial environments or mobile devices, storage devices are frequently subjected to vibration or impact. Existing fixed structures lack multi-directional buffering mechanisms and rely solely on rigid fixation, which can easily lead to loose interfaces or component damage. Some solutions use rubber pads for vibration damping, but these cannot meet heat dissipation requirements and are difficult to adapt to high-frequency vibration scenarios.

[0006] Limited heat dissipation efficiency: Storage devices generate heat during high-speed operation, but existing protective cases are mostly closed designs, relying solely on natural heat dissipation or simple openings, leading to heat accumulation. Some solutions add fans, but lack directional airflow optimization, resulting in uneven heat dissipation and easy dust intrusion, affecting device lifespan. To address this, we propose a storage device with a built-in mounting mechanism. Utility Model Content

[0007] This utility model is a storage device with a built-in fixing device proposed to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0009] A storage device with a built-in fixing device includes a storage module and a protective shell. One side of the storage module is electrically connected to a connector. One side of the protective shell is provided with a side plate. One side of the side plate is provided with a mounting bracket. The storage module is disposed in the mounting bracket. An elastic fixing component is provided between the mounting bracket and the protective shell. The elastic fixing component is used to fix the storage module and the mounting bracket in the protective shell.

[0010] Preferably, the inner side of the protective shell is provided with several positioning guide strips, and one side of the mounting bracket is provided with a guide connecting seat that matches the positioning guide strips.

[0011] Preferably, the elastic fixing component includes a storage slot one, which is disposed on one side of the mounting bracket and contains a spring-loaded component. A storage slot two is disposed on one side of the mounting bracket, with one side of the storage slot two extending through one side of the protective shell and containing a self-locking elastic component.

[0012] Preferably, the spring-loaded component includes a plug-in block disposed inside the protective shell, a push plate is slidably connected inside the storage slot, a spring is disposed on one side of the push plate, and one side of the plug-in block is inserted into the storage slot.

[0013] Preferably, the self-locking elastic component includes a second spring, which is disposed in a second storage groove. One end of the second spring is provided with a pressure block, and one side of the side plate is provided with an unlocking component.

[0014] Preferably, the unlocking component includes a slide groove disposed on one side of the side plate, an unlocking block is slidably connected in the slide groove, one side of the unlocking block abuts against one side of the pressure block, and a finger groove is provided on one side of the unlocking block.

[0015] Preferably, the protective shell has a through hole one and a through hole two on both sides, a dust-free fan module is installed in the through hole one, a dustproof and breathable plate is installed in the through hole two, a heat dissipation and ventilation cavity is installed on one side of the mounting bracket, and an air guide strip is installed on the side of the heat dissipation and ventilation cavity near the dust-free fan module.

[0016] In summary, this utility model's modular fixing and quick disassembly mechanism, through the cooperation of the elastic fixing component (including the spring-loaded component and the self-locking elastic component) and the mounting bracket, enables "one-click" installation and disassembly of the storage module. The spring-driven insertion structure of the plug-in block and the storage slot, combined with the pressure block locking mechanism of the self-locking elastic component, allows for fixing without tools, significantly improving maintenance efficiency. The design of the unlocking block and the finger groove further simplifies the unlocking operation.

[0017] This invention enhances multi-directional shock resistance and stability. The matching structure of the positioning guide strip and the guide connecting seat ensures that the mounting bracket does not shift or slide within the protective shell, avoiding displacement caused by transportation or vibration.

[0018] The spring one of the rebound component of this utility model continuously provides radial pressure to counteract external vibration; the spring two of the self-locking elastic component suppresses shaking through axial clamping force, and the dual elastic components work together to achieve a three-dimensional shock absorption effect.

[0019] This invention features a highly efficient active cooling system. The dust-free fan module and air guide strips form a directional airflow, which, together with the heat dissipation ventilation cavity, concentrates the heat to be discharged to the dustproof and breathable plate, effectively reducing the operating temperature of the storage module. The air guide strips optimize the airflow path and avoid heat dissipation dead zones. At the same time, the dustproof design extends the service life of the equipment.

[0020] This utility model features space optimization and compatibility. The compact layout of the mounting bracket and the embedded design of the elastic components reduce the extra space occupied, allowing the protective case to remain thin and light while being compatible with various storage modules. The detachable structure of the side panel facilitates the adaptation of connectors with different interfaces.

[0021] This invention features anti-misoperation and safety features. The self-locking elastic component needs to be manually released through the unlocking block in the slide groove to prevent accidental detachment. The deep insertion design of the plug-in block ensures reliable fixation and avoids the risk of loosening due to impact. Attached Figure Description

[0037] Mounting bracket 5: Used to fix the storage module 1 and connected to the protective shell 3 through a spring-loaded fixing component to ensure stability and shock resistance.

[0038] The inner side of the protective shell 3 is provided with several positioning guide strips 6, and one side of the mounting bracket 5 is provided with a matching guide connecting seat 7.

[0039] During installation, the guide connector 7 slides along the positioning guide strip 6 to ensure that the mounting bracket 5 is accurately aligned and to avoid misalignment.

[0040] The elastic fixing assembly consists of two parts: a spring-loaded component 9 and a self-locking elastic component 11, which provide radial and axial fixing forces, respectively.

[0041] The mounting bracket 5 has a storage slot 8 on one side, and a push plate 92 is slidably connected inside it. A spring 93 is provided on one side of the push plate 92.

[0042] The inner side of the protective shell 3 is provided with a plug-in block 91. When the mounting bracket 5 is pushed into the protective shell 3, the plug-in block 91 squeezes the push plate 92, which compresses the spring 93 and forms a radial clamping force to prevent the storage module 1 from shaking.

[0043] The other side of the mounting bracket 5 is provided with a storage slot 2 10, which contains a spring 2 111. One end of the spring 2 111 is connected to a pressure block 112.

[0044] When the mounting bracket 5 is fully pushed into the protective shell 3, the pressure block 112 automatically pops out under the action of the spring 111 and locks into the corresponding groove of the protective shell 3 to achieve axial locking.

[0045] A sliding groove 113 is provided on one side of the side plate 4, and an unlocking block 114 is slidably connected inside it. A finger groove 115 is provided on one side of the unlocking block 114.

[0046] When it is necessary to disassemble the storage module 1, the user can push the unlocking block 114 through the finger groove 115 to press the pressure block 112. The spring 111 retracts, the pressure block 112 is released from the locked position, and the mounting bracket 5 can be easily removed.

[0047] Dust-free fan module 12: Installed at one of the through holes in the protective shell 3 for active heat dissipation.

[0048] Air guide strip 13: Located in the heat dissipation and ventilation cavity of the mounting bracket 5, it optimizes the airflow path and makes the cool air blow evenly to the storage module 1.

[0049] Dustproof and breathable plate 14: Installed at the two through holes, it allows hot air to escape while filtering dust and extending the equipment's lifespan.

[0050] Installation steps in this embodiment:

[0051] Place the storage module 1 into the mounting bracket 5;

[0052] Push the mounting bracket 5 into the protective shell 3 along the positioning guide strip 6, and the plug block 91 automatically snaps into the storage slot 8. The spring 93 provides radial fixing force.

[0053] When the mounting bracket 5 is pushed to its limit position, the pressure block 112 of the self-locking spring member 11 pops out, completing the axial locking.

[0054] Disassembly steps in this embodiment:

[0055] Press your finger on the groove 115 of the unlocking block 114 to retract the pressure block 112 into the storage groove 10;

[0056] Pull the mounting bracket 5 outwards, and the plug block 91 will disengage from the storage slot 8, allowing you to remove the storage module 1.

[0057] In this embodiment, the protective shell 3 can be made of aluminum alloy, which combines lightweight and heat dissipation performance.

[0058] Spring 1 (93) and Spring 2 (111) are made of stainless steel to ensure that they are not prone to fatigue during long-term use.

[0059] The dust-free fan module 12 can be equipped with PWM speed control, which automatically adjusts the speed according to the temperature to reduce noise.

[0060] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
