Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of storage device accessories, specifically a snap-fit ​​mobile hard drive connector box. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of information technology, the demand for data storage and transmission is increasing daily. Portable hard drives, as portable storage devices, are favored by many users due to their large capacity, fast read / write speeds, and ease of carrying. However, traditional portable hard drive enclosures have many shortcomings in terms of data transmission efficiency, heat dissipation, and protection, making it difficult to meet modern users' demands for high performance, high reliability, and high security. Some existing portable hard drive enclosures have relatively simple hard drive connection methods, which are prone to loosening. Since hard drives generate a lot of heat during operation, poor heat dissipation can lead to decreased hard drive performance and shortened lifespan. Utility Model Content

[0028] A snap-fit ​​external hard drive enclosure, such as Figures 1-3As shown, the device includes an outer casing 10 for housing a hard drive 40. One end of the casing 10 is open and a locking cover 20 is installed at the open end. A data cable 30 is installed at the end of the casing 10 away from the locking cover 20. A hard drive slot 12 for housing the hard drive 40 is provided inside the casing 10. A locking connector 13 for inserting and engaging with the hard drive 40 is installed at the inner end of the hard drive slot 12. A cooling fan 15 is embedded in the center of the bottom surface of the hard drive slot 12. Several evenly spaced heat dissipation protrusions 14 are installed on the bottom surface of the hard drive slot 12. Shock-absorbing support feet 17 are installed at the four corners of the bottom surface of the casing 10. The data cable 30 includes a Type-C connector 31 that inserts and engages with the casing 10 and a USB connector 32 for connecting to external devices. The housing 10 has an open end with a snap-fit ​​cover 20, allowing the hard drive 40 to be easily inserted and secured. A data cable 30, including a Type-C plug 31 and a USB plug 32, is installed at the end of the housing 10 away from the snap-fit ​​cover 20, enabling the hard drive to easily connect to various external devices, including computers or other storage devices. A snap-fit ​​connector 13 inside the hard drive slot 12 engages with the hard drive 40, ensuring a stable connection. A cooling fan 15 embedded in the center of the bottom surface of the hard drive slot 12, along with evenly spaced cooling protrusions 14 on the inner bottom surface, effectively improves the hard drive's heat dissipation efficiency and extends its lifespan. Shock-absorbing support feet 17 installed at the four corners of the bottom surface of the housing 10 effectively reduce the impact of external vibrations on the hard drive, protecting its safety.

[0029] Furthermore, the outer casing 10 has a Type-C port 11 at the center of one end away from the latch cover 20, which is compatible with the Type-C plug 31, so that the data cable 30 can be securely connected to the outer casing 10, ensuring the stability and reliability of data transmission.

[0030] Specifically, the top surface of the outer casing 10 is provided with a ventilation opening, and dust filters 16 are installed at the bottom of the ventilation opening and the cooling fan 15 to effectively prevent dust from entering the interior of the outer casing 10 and ensure the cleanliness of the hard drive 40 and a good operating environment.

[0031] Among them, the heat dissipation protrusion 14 is an arc-shaped protrusion with a height of 1-3mm to improve the heat dissipation effect. The shock-absorbing support foot 17 is made of wear-resistant rubber and has a height of 5-10mm, which effectively reduces the impact of external vibration on the hard drive 40, protects the hard drive, and also improves the heat dissipation effect.

[0032] It is worth noting that the end of the snap-fit ​​cover 20 is equipped with a sealing plug 21 that is compatible with the cross-sectional size of the opening of the housing 10 and fits into place, effectively preventing dust and moisture from entering the interior of the housing 10 and further protecting the hard drive 40.

[0033] In addition, one end of the hard drive 40 is provided with a hard drive socket 41 that is compatible with the size of the snap-fit ​​connector 13 and can be plugged in, so that the hard drive 40 can be securely connected to the snap-fit ​​connector 13 inside the housing 10, ensuring the stability of data transmission and the robustness of the hard drive 40.

[0034] How this card-type portable hard drive enclosure works:

[0035] First, the user needs to open the snap-fit ​​cover 20 of the outer casing 10 to expose the internal hard drive slot 12; then, the user aligns the hard drive 40 with the opening of the hard drive slot 12 and plugs the hard drive connector 41 into the connector 13 to ensure that the hard drive 40 is securely installed in the hard drive slot 12.

[0036] Then, the user inserts the Type-C plug 31 of the data cable 30 into the Type-C port 11 located at the center of the end of the housing 10 away from the latch cover 20, ensuring that the data cable 30 is securely connected to the housing 10; at this time, the USB plug 32 of the data cable 30 can be inserted into the USB interface of the external device for data transfer.

[0037] During use, the cooling fan 15 will start, drawing in air through the vents and filtering it through the dust filter 16 before blowing it onto the hard drive 40 to help dissipate heat. At the same time, the heat dissipation protrusion 14 can also increase the contact area between the hard drive 40 and the outer casing 10, thereby improving heat dissipation efficiency.

[0038] After use, users simply need to unplug the data cable 30 from the external device and the Type-C port 11, and close the cover 20 to carry or store the hard drive enclosure.

[0039] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model.
