Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of computer accessories technology, and in particular to a hard disk mounting structure for computers. Background Technology
[0002] A hard disk drive (HDD) is a traditional storage device mainly composed of disks, read / write heads, a motor, a controller, and a cache. It reads and writes data on a rotating disk using read / write heads, offering advantages such as large storage capacity and low cost. However, HDDs have relatively slow read / write speeds and are more sensitive to physical shocks. Although gradually being replaced by solid-state drives (SSDs), HDDs still have a large number of applications for large-capacity storage and long-term data backup.
[0003] In the existing technology field, hard drive installation structures are often traditional single iron frame forms. This structure only has the ability to adapt to hard drives of specific specifications, which limits its flexibility and versatility in practical applications. It lacks the necessary adjustment mechanism and is difficult to cope with the installation needs of hard drives of different sizes and types, resulting in low compatibility and flexibility. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a hard disk installation structure for computers.
[0005] An embodiment of this utility model provides a hard disk installation structure for a computer, comprising:
[0006] Chassis;
[0007] The L-shaped mounting bracket has two movable plates with multiple connecting holes. Both sides of the L-shaped mounting bracket have side plates with round rods that are rotatably connected through and through the side plates. A rotating block is fixed to the outer end of the round rod, and a threaded rod is fixed to the inner side of the round rod. The threaded rod passes through and is threadedly connected to the movable plate on the same side.
[0008] Furthermore, the L-shaped mounting bracket has a first elastic element on its side, and a first protrusion on the inner side of the first elastic element. The chassis has multiple mounting holes and a first locking hole, with the first locking hole located below the mounting holes.
[0009] Furthermore, the L-shaped mounting bracket is provided with a protective cover, and a second elastic element is provided on both sides of the protective cover. A second protrusion is provided on the outer side of the second elastic element, and a second locking hole is provided through the side plate.
[0010] Furthermore, a guide rod is fixedly provided on the inner side of the side plate, and the guide rod slides through the movable plate on the same side.
[0011] Furthermore, slots are provided through the bottom ends of both sides of the protective cover, and the threaded rod and guide rod are respectively set in the corresponding slots. A wire hole is provided through the bottom end of the front side of the protective cover.
[0012] Furthermore, the L-shaped mounting bracket is provided with multiple heat dissipation holes, and each heat dissipation hole is fixedly fitted with a dustproof mesh.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] 1. An adjustable movable plate is provided. By rotating the threaded rod, the movable plate can be moved. By adjusting the distance between the two movable plates, it can accommodate hard drives of different sizes, increasing adaptability.
[0015] 2. A first elastic element is provided. First, pass the first elastic element through the mounting hole, then press downwards to make the first protrusion engage with the first locking hole, thus securing the L-shaped mounting bracket. Pressing the L-shaped mounting bracket upwards separates the first protrusion from the first locking hole, allowing the L-shaped mounting bracket to be removed. This simple and convenient operation, coupled with high work efficiency, avoids situations where operation is inconvenient inside the computer case, thereby facilitating hard drive installation and removal and improving efficiency.
[0016] 3. A protective cover is installed. Press down on the protective cover so that the second protrusions on both sides engage with the second locking holes on the same side to secure the cover. Pull the protective cover upward to separate the second protrusions from the locking holes, and the cover can be removed. The protective cover prevents dust from entering, reduces contamination of the hard drive interface, prevents interference with the stability of the hard drive connection, and ensures the stability of hard drive operation. Furthermore, the protective cover is simple and convenient to install and remove, ensuring installation efficiency.
[0017] In summary, this utility model features a movable plate to accommodate hard drives of different sizes, increasing its adaptability; it also includes a first elastic element for easy assembly and disassembly of the L-shaped mounting bracket, facilitating hard drive assembly and disassembly and improving efficiency; and a protective cover to reduce contamination of the hard drive interface and ensure the stability of hard drive operation.

Detailed Implementation
[0024] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0025] like Figures 1-5 As shown in the figure, this utility model embodiment proposes a hard disk mounting structure for computers, including:
[0026] Chassis 1 ( Figure 1 (Only the hard drive mounting area of chassis 1 is shown in the image). Chassis 1 has multiple mounting holes 12 and a first locking hole 13 running through it. The first locking hole 13 is as follows: Figure 1 It is positioned below the mounting hole 12 as shown.
[0027] The L-shaped mounting bracket 2 has a reinforcing plate on its inner bottom side, which provides reinforcement and stable support. Multiple ventilation holes 9 are provided through the L-shaped mounting bracket 2 for hard drive cooling. Each ventilation hole 9 has a fixed dust filter to prevent dust from entering the L-shaped mounting bracket 2 from inside the chassis 1.
[0028] The L-shaped mounting bracket 2 has a first elastic element 10 on its side. The first elastic element 10 is integrally formed by extrusion of the L-shaped mounting bracket 2 and has a certain elasticity. The first elastic element 10 is stuck in the mounting hole 12. The inner side of the first elastic element 10 has a first protrusion 11. Since the first elastic element 10 is integrally formed by extrusion, the first protrusion 11 can be stuck in the first locking hole 13.
[0029] The L-shaped mounting bracket 2 is equipped with two movable plates 4, and multiple connection holes 5 are provided through the movable plates 4. The connection holes are used for the installation of hard drives of different sizes (most hard drives on the market have threaded holes on the side that are aligned with the connection holes 5 for fixing the hard drive).
[0030] Both sides of the L-shaped mounting bracket 2 are provided with side plates 3. A round rod is rotatably connected through the side plate 3. A threaded rod 6 is fixedly provided on the inner side of the round rod. A limit block is rotatably connected inside the threaded rod 6. The limit block is fixedly provided on the L-shaped mounting bracket 2. The threaded rod 6 passes through the movable plate 4 on the same side and is threadedly connected to it, so that when the threaded rod 6 rotates, it can drive the movable plate 4 to move. A rotating block 7 is fixedly provided at the outer end of the round rod. The rotating block 7 is used to rotate the threaded rod 6.
[0031] A guide rod 8 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the side plate 3. The guide rod 8 slides through the movable plate 4 on the same side and guides the movable plate 4.
[0032] The L-shaped mounting bracket 2 is equipped with a protective cover 14, which is used to protect the hard drive, effectively block the intrusion of dust, reduce the degree of dust contamination on the hard drive interface, and prevent dust from interfering with the stability of the hard drive connection, thereby ensuring that the hard drive can maintain a stable and efficient operating state.
[0033] The protective cover 14 is provided with a second elastic element 16 on both sides. The second elastic element 16 is cut and formed by the protective cover 14 and has a certain elasticity. The outer side of the second elastic element 16 is provided with a second protrusion 17. The second protrusion 17 is integrally formed by extruding the second elastic element 16. A second locking hole 19 is provided through the side plate 3. The second protrusion 17 can be locked into the second locking hole 19, thereby locking and fixing the protective cover 14.
[0034] Both sides of the bottom of the protective cover 14 are provided with slots 18, and the threaded rod 6 and the guide rod 8 are respectively set in the corresponding slots 18, so that the protective cover 14 can be covered on the L-shaped mounting bracket 2. The bottom front side of the protective cover 14 is provided with a through hole 15 for the passage of SATA data cables and power cables.
[0035] The detailed working process of this utility model is as follows:
[0036] 1. During installation, first make an adaptive adjustment according to the hard drive size. Rotate the threaded rod 6 by rotating the rotating block 7, which will move the moving plate 4. Adjust the distance between the two moving plates 4 to adapt to the current hard drive specifications. After adjustment, place the hard drive between the two moving plates 4. Then, pass the screws required for installation through the connecting hole 5 and screw them into the threaded holes reserved on both sides of the hard drive to fix the hard drive. Then you can connect the hard drive's SATA data cable and power cable.
[0037] 2. Next, align the second protrusions 17 on both sides of the protective cover 14 with the second locking holes 19 on the two side plates 3, and then press the protective cover 14 down so that the side plates 3 squeeze the second protrusions 17 on the same side and squeeze and bend the corresponding second elastic members 16 inward. When the second protrusions 17 move to align with the second locking holes 19 on the same side, they will pop outward under the elastic action of the corresponding second elastic members 16 and lock into the second locking holes 19 on the same side. At this time, the protective cover 14 can be locked and fixed.
[0038] 3. Finally, pass the first elastic element 10 on the side of the L-shaped mounting bracket 2 through the corresponding mounting hole 12 on the chassis 1, and then press the L-shaped mounting bracket 2 down. At this time, the chassis 1 will squeeze the first protrusion 11 outward and bend the first elastic element 10 outward. When the first protrusion 11 moves to align with the corresponding first locking hole 13, it will pop outward under the elastic action of the first elastic element 10 and lock into the corresponding first locking hole 13. At this time, the L-shaped mounting bracket 2 can be locked and fixed.
[0039] 4. When disassembling, first press the L-shaped mounting bracket 2 upward to separate the first protrusion 11 from the first locking hole 13, then remove the first elastic element 10 from the mounting hole 12 to remove the L-shaped mounting bracket 2; then pull the protective cover 14 upward to separate the second protrusion 17 from the second locking hole 19 to remove the protective cover 14, and finally unscrew the screws to remove the hard drive.
[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
