Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the fields of mobile storage and portable charging technology, and in particular to a multi-functional portable hard drive. Background Technology

[0002] A power bank is a portable device that stores electrical energy, primarily used to charge mobile devices such as mobile phones and earphones, especially in situations where an external power source is unavailable. A portable hard drive is a portable storage device that allows for high-speed data transfer between the device and the system. With the continuous development of technology, both power banks and portable hard drives have become indispensable and frequently used electronic devices in people's lives. However, using either a power bank or a portable hard drive usually involves carrying both separately, leading to inconvenience and the risk of loss.

[0003] Currently, there are products that combine power banks and external hard drives, but these products have the problem that the power bank and external hard drive cannot be separated, which means that the power bank and external hard drive cannot be used or replaced independently. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a multi-functional portable hard drive that can be separated into an independent power supply unit and a hard drive unit, so that either the power supply unit or the hard drive unit can be replaced separately if either unit is damaged.

[0005] The technical solution is as follows:

[0006] A multi-functional portable hard drive includes:

[0007] The power supply unit is provided with a first connector for charging, discharging and transmitting data. The power supply unit has a mounting slot, and a male connector that is electrically connected to the first connector is provided in the mounting slot.

[0008] The hard drive is a split unit, which is provided with a female connector for data transmission; the hard drive is a split unit and an assembled state; in the assembled state, the hard drive is installed in the mounting slot and the male connector is connected to the female connector; in the split state, the hard drive is removed from the mounting slot and the male connector is separated from the female connector.

[0009] In the aforementioned multi-functional portable hard drive, the power supply unit has a mounting slot containing a male connector that is electrically connected to a first connector for charging, discharging, and data transmission. The hard drive unit can be inserted into or removed from the mounting slot, and it also has a female connector that mates with the male connector for data transmission. Therefore, when the hard drive unit is housed in the mounting slot and the male connector is connected to the female connector, the hard drive unit and the power supply unit can be integrated into a single structure. This allows the multi-functional portable hard drive to transmit data and power to an external device with storage capabilities via the first connector. Consequently, this multi-functional portable hard drive can meet various user needs, reducing the number of electronic devices carried and the space occupied by them, thus improving portability. When the male connector and female connector are separated, the hard drive unit can be easily removed from the mounting slot, allowing the multi-functional portable hard drive to be divided into an independent power supply unit and a hard drive unit. The power supply unit can be used as an independent power source to charge and discharge via the first connector to external devices, while the hard drive unit can be used as an independent portable hard drive to transfer data via the female connector to external devices. This ensures ease of use and also allows for easy replacement of the damaged component if either the hard drive unit or the power supply unit is damaged, reducing costs and improving practicality.

[0010] The technical solution will be further explained below:

[0011] In one embodiment, a first magnetic element is provided in the mounting slot, and a second magnetic element is provided in the hard disk assembly. In the assembled state, the first magnetic element and the second magnetic element are magnetically attracted to each other.

[0012] In one embodiment, the male connector is disposed on the side wall of the mounting slot, and the hard drive assembly also has a pre-installed state. In the pre-installed state, the hard drive assembly is slidably disposed in the mounting slot, and the male connector and the female connector are spaced apart and opposite to each other. The hard drive assembly can slide towards the side closer to the male connector to enter the assembled state, and can also slide away from the bottom of the mounting slot to allow the hard drive assembly to exit the mounting slot and enter the assembly state.

[0013] In one embodiment, the power supply unit includes a first housing, a battery assembly, and a hub controller. The mounting slot is formed in the first housing. The battery assembly, the hub controller, and the first connector are all disposed in the first housing. The hub controller is electrically connected to the battery assembly, the male connector, and the first connector. The hub controller is used to control the charging and discharging of the first connector and to transmit data.

[0014] In one embodiment, the battery assembly includes a battery, a battery controller, and a digital display. The battery and the battery controller are both disposed within the first housing. The digital display is disposed within the first housing. The battery controller is electrically connected to the battery, the digital display, and the hub controller. The digital display is used to display the amount of electricity stored in the battery.

[0015] In one embodiment, the first housing is provided with a button, which is electrically connected to the battery controller, and the button is used to turn the digital display on or off.

[0016] And / or, the battery assembly includes a second connector for discharging, the second connector being disposed in the first housing and electrically connected to the battery controller.

[0017] In one embodiment, the battery assembly further includes a transmission line and a transmission head for discharging, the transmission head being electrically connected to the battery controller via the transmission line.

[0018] In one embodiment, the first housing has a receiving space, and the transmission head has a receiving state and an unfolded state. In the receiving state, the transmission head and the transmission line are both received in the receiving space; in the unfolded state, at least a portion of the transmission head and the transmission line are removed from the receiving space.

[0019] In one embodiment, the hard drive assembly includes a second housing, a hard drive controller, and a hard drive. The connector is disposed in the second housing, and both the hard drive controller and the hard drive are disposed within the second housing. The hard drive controller is electrically connected to the connector, and the hard drive controller is provided with a hard drive socket, which is plugged into and engaged with the hard drive.

[0020] In one embodiment, the hard drive socket has a socket, and the second housing has a plug-in channel, which is disposed opposite to the socket. The hard drive is detachably installed in the plug-in channel, and the plug-in portion of the hard drive is plugged into the socket. Attached Figure Description

[0027] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this application. However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0028] In the description of this application, it should be understood that if terms such as "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential" appear, these terms indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0029] Furthermore, where the terms "first" and "second" appear, these terms are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this application, where the term "multiple" appears, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0030] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise expressly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0031] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the use of descriptions such as "above" or "below" the second feature indicates that the first and second features are in direct contact or indirect contact via an intermediate medium. Furthermore, "above," "on top of," and "over" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. Similarly, "below," "below," and "under" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0032] It should be noted that if an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or there may be an intervening element. If an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element. If so, the terms "vertical," "horizontal," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this application are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.

[0033] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 One embodiment of this application provides a multi-functional portable hard drive 100, comprising a power supply unit 10 and a hard drive unit 20. Wherein:

[0034] The power supply unit 10 is provided with a first connector 104 for charging, discharging, and data transmission. The power supply unit 10 has a mounting slot 10a, and a male connector 101 electrically connected to the first connector 104 is provided in the mounting slot 10a. The hard disk unit 20 is provided with a female connector 201 for data transmission. The hard disk unit 20 has an assembled state and a disassembled state. In the assembled state, the hard disk unit 20 is installed in the mounting slot 10a and the male connector 101 is connected to the female connector 201. In the disassembled state, the hard disk unit 20 is removed from the mounting slot 10a and the male connector 101 is separated from the female connector 201.

[0035] In the aforementioned multi-functional portable hard drive 100, the power supply unit 10 has a mounting slot 10a, in which a male connector 101 is provided. The male connector 101 is electrically connected to a first connector 104 used for charging, discharging, and data transmission. The hard drive unit 20 can be inserted into or removed from the mounting slot 10a, and the hard drive unit 20 has a female connector 201 that can cooperate with the male connector 101 for data transmission. Therefore, when the hard drive unit 20 is housed in the mounting slot 10a and the male connector 101 is connected to the female connector 201, the hard drive unit 20 and the power supply unit 10 can be integrated into a single structure. This allows the multi-functional portable hard drive 100 to transmit data and power to an external device through the first connector 104 when the first connector 104 is connected to the external device with storage functionality. This enables the multi-functional portable hard drive 100 to meet various user needs, reduce the number of electronic devices carried and the space occupied by electronic devices, and thus improve portability. When the male connector 101 is separated from the female connector 201, the hard drive unit 20 can be easily removed from the mounting slot 10a, allowing the multi-functional portable hard drive 100 to be split into an independent power supply unit 10 and a hard drive unit 20. This allows the power supply unit 10 to be used as an independent portable power source for charging and discharging with external devices via the first connector 104, and the hard drive unit 20 to be used as an independent portable hard drive for data transmission with external devices via the female connector 201. This ensures the convenience of using the device and also allows for easy replacement of the damaged component if either the hard drive unit 20 or the power supply unit 10 is damaged, thereby reducing costs and improving practicality. Furthermore, since the male connector 101 is connected to the female connector 201 in the assembled state, when an external device connected to the first connector 104 cannot stably supply power to the hard drive partition 20 to ensure stable data transmission, the power supply unit 10 can supply power to the hard drive partition 20 to ensure that the hard drive partition 20 of the multi-functional portable hard drive 100 can stably transmit data with the external device. Simultaneously, this also enables the multi-functional portable hard drive 100 to have a power failure protection function, ensuring that in the event of a sudden power outage of the external device, the multi-functional portable hard drive 100, powered by the power supply unit 10, can promptly write any unfinished data to the hard drive partition 20, avoiding data loss. Since the first connector 104 has a charging function, when the power supply unit 10 is not equipped with enough power, power can be supplied to the power supply unit 10 by connecting the first connector 104 to an external power supply device. This ensures that the multi-functional portable hard drive 100 can supply power to the external power supply device when it is connected to the device.

[0036] It should be noted that the charging / discharging and data transmission functions of the first connector 104 are selected based on the external device connected to it. In other words, the functional relationship between the multi-functional portable hard drive 100 and the external device varies depending on the device. For example, when the external device connected to the first connector 104 is a power supply device, such as a power grid or generator, the first connector 104 can only perform its charging function; that is, the relationship between the multi-functional portable hard drive 100 and the external device is that the external device supplies power to the multi-functional portable hard drive 100 through the first connector 104. However, when the external device connected to the first connector 104 is a power-consuming device with storage functions, such as a mobile phone or computer, the first connector 104 can perform its data transmission function; that is, the multi-functional portable hard drive 100 can perform bidirectional data transmission with the external device through the first connector 104 when the hard drive assembly 20 is in the assembled state. In this case, the prerequisite for the first connector 104 to perform its discharging function is... This means that the power-consuming device can receive electrical energy from the power supply unit 10. For example, when the power-consuming device is a mobile phone, since the power-consuming device can receive electrical energy, the first connector 104 can supply electrical energy to the power-consuming device. However, when the power-consuming device is a computer, since the power-consuming device does not receive electrical energy from the power supply unit 10, the first connector 104 does not supply electrical energy to the outside and only realizes the function of data transmission. When the power-consuming device is a power-consuming device without storage function, such as an MP3 player or Bluetooth headset, the first connector 104 can only realize the function of discharging. That is, the relationship between the multi-functional portable hard drive 100 and the external device is that the multi-functional portable hard drive 100 supplies electrical energy to the external device through the first connector 104.

[0037] To illustrate, the male connector 101 and the female connector 201 are plugged into each other. Further, the male connector 101 is a USB-C male connector, and the female connector 201 is a USB-C female connector.

[0038] Indicatively, the first connector 104 may be a USB-C female connector.

[0039] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 2A first magnetic element 12 is provided in the mounting slot 10a, and a second magnetic element 22 is provided in the hard drive assembly 20. In the assembled state, the first magnetic element 12 and the second magnetic element 22 are magnetically attracted to each other. Thus, when the hard drive assembly 20 is in the assembled state, it can be easily locked into the mounting slot 10a by the magnetic attraction of the first magnetic element 12 and the second magnetic element 22, preventing it from falling out and ensuring the reliability of the connection between the female connector 201 and the male connector 101. This ensures that the hard drive assembly 20 can reliably read and write data with external devices through the first connector 104. Furthermore, since the first magnetic element 12 and the second magnetic element 22 are magnetically attracted, the first magnetic element 12 can be easily separated from the second magnetic element 22 under external force, allowing the hard drive assembly 20 to be easily removed from the power supply assembly 10, ensuring efficient assembly and disassembly of the hard drive assembly 20 and the power supply assembly 10.

[0040] Optionally, there can be multiple first magnetic elements 12 and multiple second magnetic elements 22, with each first magnetic element 12 corresponding to a different second magnetic element 22. For example, there may be four first magnetic elements 12 and four second magnetic elements 22, with the four second magnetic elements 22 spaced apart on the surface of the hard disk assembly 20 that mates with the bottom of the mounting slot 10a; or, two of the four second magnetic elements 22 may be located on the first surface of the hard disk assembly 20, and the other two on the second surface of the hard disk assembly 20.

[0041] Indicatively, the first magnetic element 12 can be disposed on the side wall of the mounting groove 10a; or, it can be disposed on the bottom of the mounting groove 10a, for example, four first magnetic elements 12 are arranged circumferentially around the bottom of the mounting groove 10a.

[0042] In other embodiments, the power supply unit 10 is provided with a first mating portion, and the hard disk unit 20 is provided with a second mating portion. In the assembled state, the first mating portion and the second mating portion engage. Thus, the hard disk unit 20 can be effectively locked within the mounting slot 10a through the engagement between the first and second mating portions. Furthermore, the first and second mating portions are in a convex-concave fit; for example, one is a protrusion and the other a groove.

[0043] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3The male connector 101 is located on the side wall of the mounting slot 10a. The hard drive unit 20 also has a pre-installed state. In the pre-installed state, the hard drive unit 20 is slidably disposed within the mounting slot 10a, with the male connector 101 and the female connector 201 positioned opposite each other at an interval. The hard drive unit 20 can slide towards the side closer to the male connector 101 to enter the assembled state, and can also slide away from the bottom of the mounting slot 10a to exit the mounting slot 10a and enter the separate state. Thus, the pre-installed state can serve as an intermediate transitional state between the separate state and the assembled state. This allows the hard drive unit 20 to be stored inside the power unit 10 when two different devices need to be carried but data transfer is not required, ensuring a small overall device size and portability. The relative direction between the female connector 201 and the male connector 101 when the hard drive unit 20 is in the pre-installed state is defined as the first direction. When the hard drive assembly 20 slides from its pre-installed position to its assembled position along the first direction, the male connector 101 located on the side wall of the mounting slot 10a engages with the female connector 201 on the surface of the hard drive assembly 20, thus establishing an electrical connection between the hard drive assembly 20 and the power supply assembly 10. This ensures that the hard drive assembly 20 can transmit data to external devices via the first connector 104 of the power supply assembly 10. When the hard drive assembly 20 slides from its assembled position to its pre-installed position along the first direction, the connection between the male connector 101 and the female connector 201 is released, and the hard drive assembly 20 is housed within the power supply assembly 10, but there is no electrical connection between them. This reduces the space occupied by the device while allowing the power supply assembly 10 to be used independently. In addition, when the hard drive unit 20 is slid from its pre-installed position to the side away from the bottom of the mounting slot 10a, the hard drive unit 20 can be separated from the power supply unit 10, so that the power supply unit 10 can be used as an independent power bank and the hard drive unit 20 can be used as an independent portable hard drive 204, ensuring the convenience of device use. At the same time, it also makes it easy to replace the damaged part if either the hard drive unit 20 or the power supply unit 10 is damaged, thereby reducing costs and improving practicality.

[0044] Indicatively, in the pre-installed position, the first magnetic component 12 and the second magnetic component 22 are misaligned.

[0045] In other embodiments, the hard drive assembly 20 may not be in a pre-installed state. Specifically, the male connector 101 may be located at the bottom of the mounting slot 10a. Thus, when the hard drive assembly 20 enters the mounting slot 10a, the male connector 101 can be inserted into the female connector 201, allowing the hard drive assembly 20 to switch directly from a separate state to an assembled state, conveniently connecting the hard drive assembly 20 to the power supply assembly 10.

[0046] Furthermore, in one embodiment, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the power supply unit 10 includes a first housing 11, a battery assembly 103, and a hub controller 102. A mounting slot 10a is formed in the first housing 11. The battery assembly 103, hub controller 102, and first connector 104 are all disposed within the first housing 11. The hub controller 102 is electrically connected to the battery assembly 103, the male connector 101, and the first connector 104. The hub controller 102 controls the charging and discharging of the first connector 104 and data transmission. Thus, in both assembled and pre-installed states, the hard drive unit 20 can be reliably housed within the first housing 11, reducing the space occupied by the entire device and the number of portable electronic devices. Simultaneously, it allows the hard drive unit 20 to be separated from the first housing 11, enabling independent use of both the hard drive unit 20 and the power supply unit 10, ensuring ease of use. The battery assembly 103 ensures that the power supply unit 10 can effectively provide power to external devices and also ensures that the power supply unit 10 can effectively supply power to the hard disk unit 20 in the assembled state, so as to play a role in stabilizing data transmission and power failure protection, thereby ensuring that the hard disk unit 20 can completely store the data in the multi-functional portable hard disk 100 during data transmission.

[0047] Furthermore, the hub controller 102 enables the first connector 104 to perform different functions under its control. Specifically, when the first connector 104 is connected to an external device, the hub controller 102 can control the first connector 104 to perform one or more functions depending on the external device. For example, when the external device connected to the first connector 104 is a power supply device, such as a power grid or generator, the first connector 104 charges the battery assembly 103 under the control of the hub controller 102. When the external device connected to the first connector 104 is a power-consuming device with storage function, such as a mobile phone or computer, the first connector 104 transmits data with the external device under the control of the hub controller 102. At the same time, when the power-consuming device is a mobile phone or other device that can receive power from a power bank, the first connector 104 can also supply power to the external device under the control of the hub controller 102. When the power-consuming device is a computer or other device that cannot receive power from a power bank, the hub controller 102 controls the first connector 104 not to supply power to the outside. When the power-consuming device is a power-consuming device without storage function, such as an MP3 player or Bluetooth headset, the first connector 104 can only discharge to the external device under the control of the hub controller 102.

[0048] Indicatively, the first magnetic element 12 is disposed on the first housing 11.

[0049] Furthermore, in one embodiment, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the battery assembly 103 includes a battery 1034, a battery controller 1031, and a digital display 1032. The battery 1034 and battery controller 1031 are both housed within the first housing 11, and the digital display 1032 is also housed within the first housing 11. The battery controller 1031 is electrically connected to the battery 1034, the digital display 1032, and the hub controller 102. The digital display 1032 displays the amount of electricity stored in the battery 1034. Thus, the power supply unit 10 can store electrical energy using the battery 1034. When the power supply unit 10 is connected to an external device, the battery 1034 can supply the stored electrical energy to the external device via the first connector 104, thus releasing the electrical energy. It can also receive electrical energy from the external device via the first connector 104, thus storing the electrical energy. In its assembled state, the battery 1034 can also supply power to the hard drive unit 20 through the hub controller 102, the male connector 101, and the female connector 201. This ensures that the power supply unit 10 can provide power to the hard drive unit 20 and provide power failure protection, thereby ensuring that the hard drive unit 20 can perform its corresponding read and write functions normally. Furthermore, the digital display 1032 allows users to easily obtain the current amount of energy stored in the battery 1034.

[0050] For illustrative purposes, the digital display 1032 can be a display screen or a digital tube.

[0051] Indicatively, battery 1034 may include a lithium battery 1034 with charge and discharge capabilities.

[0052] Furthermore, in one embodiment, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the first housing 11 is equipped with a button 1033, which is electrically connected to the battery controller 1031. The button 1033 is used to turn the digital display 1032 on or off. Thus, the user can conveniently control the digital display 1032 to view the current charge level of the battery 1034 via the button 1033. Additionally, this allows the digital display 1032 to remain in a power-off state when the user does not need to check the battery level, thereby saving power.

[0053] Furthermore, in one embodiment, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, the battery assembly 103 includes a second connector 1035 for discharging. The second connector 1035 is disposed on the first housing 11 and electrically connected to the battery controller 1031. Thus, the power supply unit 10 can be conveniently connected to external devices via the second connector 1035 to transmit power to them, improving ease of use. Furthermore, this also allows the power supply unit 10 to transmit power to a second external device via the second connector 1035 when the first connector 104 is connected to a first external device, better meeting customer needs. Illustratively, the second connector 1035 can provide power to the connected external device in both assembled and disassembled states.

[0054] As an illustration, the types of the first connector 104 and the second connector 1035 can be designed according to actual needs. For example, both the first connector 104 and the second connector 1035 can be USB-C female connectors; or, the first connector 104 can be a USB-C female connector and the second connector 1035 can be a USB-A female connector.

[0055] Furthermore, in one embodiment, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the battery assembly 103 also includes a transmission line 1037 and a transmission head 1038 for discharging. The transmission head 1038 is electrically connected to the battery controller 1031 via the transmission line 1037. Thus, the power supply unit 10 can conveniently connect to external devices via the transmission head 1038 to transmit power to them without an external charging cable, improving ease of use. Furthermore, this also allows the power supply unit 10 to transmit power to multiple different devices simultaneously, better meeting customer needs. Illustratively, the transmission head 1038 can provide power to connected external devices in both assembled and disassembled states.

[0056] As an illustration, the transmitter 1038 can be any of a USB-C male interface, a Lightning male interface, or a Mini USB interface.

[0057] Optionally, in one embodiment, combining Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the first housing 11 has a receiving space, and the transmission head 1038 has a receiving state and an unfolded state. In the receiving state, both the transmission head 1038 and the transmission line 1037 are received in the receiving space; in the unfolded state, at least a portion of the transmission head 1038 and the transmission line 1037 are removed from the receiving space. Thus, when the transmission head 1038 is not used to connect to external devices, the transmission line 1037 and the transmission head 1038 can be fixed to the first housing 11 to prevent the transmission line 1037 from getting tangled with other objects, improving portability and aesthetics.

[0058] In one embodiment, the receiving space can be a receiving groove, and the side wall of the receiving groove is provided with a locking protrusion. When the transmission head 1038 is in the receiving state, the transmission line 1037 and the transmission head 1038 are both received in the receiving groove, and the locking protrusion can restrict the transmission head 1038 and / or the transmission line 1037 from leaving the receiving groove. When the transmission line 1037 and / or the transmission head 1038 is subjected to an external force, the transmission line 1037 and the transmission head 1038 can leave the receiving space to enter the unfolded state. In another embodiment, the receiving space has a receiving opening, and a winding assembly is disposed within the receiving space. One end of the transmission line 1037 is disposed on the winding assembly. In the receiving state, the winding assembly can wind up the transmission line 1037 so that both the transmission line 1037 and the transmission head 1038 are received within the receiving space. Under the action of external force, the winding assembly can release the transmission line 1037 so that the transmission head 1038 and the end of the transmission line 1037 near the transmission head 1038 can pass through the receiving opening to enter the unfolded state. The winding assembly may include a rotating shaft rotatably connected to the first housing 11; or it may be an automatic winding device.

[0059] In one embodiment, combined Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the hard drive assembly 20 includes a second housing 21, a hard drive controller 202, and a hard drive 204. A female connector 201 is disposed within the second housing 21. Both the hard drive controller 202 and the hard drive 204 are housed within the second housing 21. The hard drive controller 202 is electrically connected to the female connector 201. The hard drive controller 202 is equipped with a hard drive socket 203, which is plugged into the hard drive 204. Thus, the hard drive 204 can be conveniently electrically connected to the hard drive controller 202 via the hard drive socket 203, enabling the hard drive 204 to read and write data under the control of the hard drive controller 202. Specifically, data from the hard drive 204 can be transmitted externally through the hard drive controller 202 and the female connector 201, while external data can also be stored in the hard drive 204 via the female connector 201 and the hard drive controller 202. Furthermore, in the assembled state, the hard drive 204 can transmit data with external devices via the first connector 104, while in the detached state, the hard drive 204 can transmit data with external devices via the female connector 201. Since the hard drive socket 203 and the hard drive 204 are connected and matched, the hard drive socket 203 and the hard drive 204 can be easily installed and removed. This allows the hard drive 204 to be easily removed from the second housing 21 when the hard drive 204 is damaged or the storage space of the hard drive 204 is insufficient, so as to realize the individual replacement of the hard drive 204, which helps to save costs.

[0060] Indicatively, the second magnetic element 22 is disposed on the second housing 21.

[0061] For illustrative purposes, hard drive 204 can be an M.2 hard drive 204, and hard drive socket 203 can be an M.2 hard drive socket 203.

[0062] Furthermore, in one embodiment, combined with Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the hard drive socket 203 has a connector, and the second housing 21 has a connection channel. The connection channel is positioned opposite to the connector, and the hard drive 204 is detachably installed in the connection channel, with the connector portion of the hard drive 204 plugged into the connector. Thus, when the hard drive 204 is installed in the connection channel, it can be plugged into the hard drive socket 203; when the hard drive 204 is removed from the connection channel, it can be separated from the hard drive socket 203. This allows the hard drive 204 to be easily removed from the second housing 21 for individual replacement if it is damaged or if its storage space is insufficient, thus saving costs.

It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
