Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of storage module technology, and in particular to a quick-install storage module with an air-cooling structure. Background Technology

[0002] Existing storage modules, such as portable hard drives, are mainly used to store important data including personal photos, videos, and documents. For example, if users regularly back up important data to portable hard drives before their computer hard drives fail, they can avoid permanent data loss due to hard drive failure.

[0003] However, when in use, the existing device does not have an active heat dissipation structure. During long-term high-load operation, such as fast copying of large files or editing and storing high-definition videos, the internal temperature of the portable hard drive will rise rapidly. High temperature will degrade the performance of the storage chip, resulting in slower data read and write speeds and affecting the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to at least solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art, and to provide a quick-install storage module with an air-cooled structure. The heat dissipation plate and heat sink fins absorb and dissipate the heat from the storage module. A fan assembly draws external air into the casing, accelerating airflow around the heat sink fins and heat sink, thus cooling the module more quickly and ensuring stable operating temperature even under prolonged high load. After prolonged use, a large amount of dust from the air accumulates on the surface of the heat sink fins. By opening the cover, the heat sink can be lifted along with the heat sink via a connecting rod. When lifted, the heat sink, with its through-holes, scrapes off the dust from the outer surface of the heat sink fins. Finally, the dust on the surface of the heat sink can be cleaned externally, ensuring that the heat sink fins maintain good heat dissipation performance at all times.

[0005] This utility model also provides a quick-install storage module with a wind-cooled structure as described above, comprising: a shell, a connecting rod fixedly connected to the inner surface of the shell, a storage module body fixedly connected to the other end of the connecting rod, the input and output ends of the storage module body extending through to the outside of the shell, multiple heat dissipation fins fixedly connected to the side surface of the storage module body, a heat spreader plate movably connected to the side surface of the storage module body, multiple through holes provided on the heat spreader plate, the through holes and the heat spreader plate being clearance-fitted, cover plates movably connected to both the upper and lower surfaces of the shell, a connecting rod fixedly connected between the cover plates and the heat spreader plate, a fan assembly provided on the side surface of the shell, an air inlet provided on the shell, a slider fixedly connected to the side surface of the shell; and a slide rail, wherein the shell is slidably connected to the inside of the slide rail via the slider.

[0008] According to the present invention, a quick-installation storage module with a wind-cooled structure is provided, wherein a protective plate is fixedly connected to the other end of the air duct, and an air outlet is provided on the protective plate.

[0009] According to the present invention, a quick-install storage module with an air-cooled structure is provided, wherein a connecting sleeve is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the outer shell, and a pin is movably connected to the inner surface of the connecting sleeve.

[0011] According to the present invention, a quick-installation storage module with an air-cooled structure is provided, wherein both the slide rail and the slider are provided with fixing holes, and the inner wall of the fixing holes is threaded with fixing pins.

[0012] According to the present invention, a quick-installation storage module with an air-cooled structure is provided, wherein a fixing plate is fixedly connected to the side surface of the slide rail, and the fixing plate is provided with mounting holes.

[0013] Compared to existing technologies, this quick-install storage module with an air-cooled structure absorbs and dissipates heat from the storage module through a heat spreader and heat sink fins.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] This section will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present utility model. The preferred embodiments of the present utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings. The purpose of the drawings is to supplement the textual description with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of the present utility model, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0022] Reference Figure 1-4 This utility model embodiment provides a quick-installation storage module with an air-cooled structure, which includes: a shell 7, a connecting rod fixedly connected to the inner surface of the shell 7, and a storage module body 13 fixedly connected to the other end of the connecting rod. The input and output terminals of the storage module body 13 extend through to the outside of the shell 7.

[0023] Specifically: The storage module body 13 is a portable hard drive, which is usually composed of a storage chip (such as a flash memory chip), a control chip, an interface circuit, a circuit board, and a casing. The storage chip is responsible for the actual storage of data, the control chip manages and controls the data read and write operations, the interface circuit is used to realize data transmission and communication between the module and external devices, and the casing plays a role in protecting the internal components. The above-mentioned composition and working principle of portable hard drives are existing mature technologies and will not be elaborated in this article.

[0024] Multiple heat dissipation fins 19 are fixedly connected to the side surface of the storage module body 13. A heat spreader 16 is movably connected to the side surface of the storage module body 13. Multiple through holes 20 are provided on the heat spreader 16. The through holes 20 are clearance-fitted with the heat spreader 16. Cover plates 6 are movably connected to both the upper and lower surfaces of the outer shell 7. A connecting rod 15 is fixedly connected between the cover plate 6 and the heat spreader 16. A connecting sleeve 21 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the outer shell 7. A pin 22 is movably connected to the inner surface of the connecting sleeve 21. A slot 23 is provided on the cover plate 6. The pin 22 is movably connected to the slot 23.

[0025] Specifically: The storage module body 13 generates heat during operation. Multiple heat dissipation fins 19 are fixedly connected to the side surface of the storage module body 13, which increases the heat dissipation area and can quickly absorb the heat generated by the storage module body 13. The heat dissipation plate 16 is movably connected to the side surface of the storage module body 13. It absorbs the heat on the heat dissipation fins 19 and distributes the heat evenly to improve heat dissipation efficiency.

[0026] Specifically: After prolonged use, a large amount of dust from the air will accumulate on the surface of the heat sink 19, which will affect the heat dissipation performance of the heat sink 19. When it is necessary to clean the dust, open the cover plate 6. The cover plate 6 is fixedly connected to the heat spreader plate 16 by the connecting rod 15. When the cover plate 6 is opened, it will drive the connecting rod 15 to lift the heat spreader plate 16 together. Since the heat spreader plate 16 is provided with multiple through holes 20, and the through holes 20 are fitted with the heat spreader plate 16 with a clearance, during the process of lifting the heat spreader plate 16, it will work with the through holes 20 to scrape off the dust on the outer surface of the heat sink 19. Finally, the user can remove the dust on the surface of the heat spreader plate 16 from the outside to ensure that the heat sink 19 can always maintain good heat dissipation performance. At the same time, the cover plate 6 can be fixed to the outer casing 7 by the cooperation of the pin 22 and the slot 23 to ensure the sealing of the device.

[0027] A fan assembly is provided on the side surface of the outer casing 7. The fan assembly includes: a duct 1 and a bracket 10. The duct 1 is connected to the side surface of the outer casing 7. The bracket 10 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the duct 1. The fan assembly includes: a motor 12 and a fan blade 11. The motor 12 is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the bracket 10. The fan blade 11 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 12. A protective plate 2 is fixedly connected to the other end of the duct 1. An air outlet 3 is provided on the protective plate 2. An air inlet 14 is provided on the outer casing 7.

[0028] Specifically: When the fan assembly on the side surface of the outer casing 7 is working, the motor 12 drives the fan blades 11 to rotate at high speed. The motor 12 is fixed to the inner wall of the air duct 1 by the bracket 10. The air duct 1 is connected to the side surface of the outer casing 7. When the fan blades 11 rotate, they will draw external air into the interior of the outer casing 7 through the air inlet 14 on the outer casing 7. When the drawn-in air flows through the heat dissipation fins 19 and the heat spreader 16, it will take away the heat on their surfaces. Then the hot air is discharged to the outside of the outer casing 7 from the air outlet 3 on the protective plate 2 at the other end of the air duct 1, thereby achieving the purpose of accelerating heat dissipation.

[0029] Specifically: the motor 12 is electrically connected to the interface circuit and circuit board of the portable hard drive. When the interface circuit is connected to the computer, the computer can supply power to the motor 12.

[0030] A slider 4 and a slide rail 8 are fixedly connected to the side surface of the outer shell 7. The outer shell 7 is slidably connected to the inside of the slide rail 8 via the slider 4. Both the slide rail 8 and the slider 4 are provided with fixing holes 18. The inner wall of the fixing hole 18 is threaded with a fixing pin 17. A fixing plate 5 is fixedly connected to the side surface of the slide rail 8. The fixing plate 5 is provided with mounting holes 9.

[0031] Specifically: the outer casing 7 is slidably connected to the inside of the slide rail 8 via the slider 4. This sliding connection facilitates the movement and installation between the outer casing 7 and the slide rail 8, thereby enabling the quick installation and disassembly of the storage module body 13. Both the slide rail 8 and the slider 4 are provided with fixing holes 18. When the storage module slides to the appropriate position, it can be fixed together with the slider 4 and the slide rail 8 by threading the fixing pin 17 into the fixing hole 18, thus determining the position of the storage module. A fixing plate 5 is fixedly connected to the side surface of the slide rail 8. The fixing plate 5 is provided with mounting holes 9. Bolts and other connecting parts can be used to fix the fixing plate 5 to the corresponding equipment through the mounting holes 9, thereby realizing the installation and fixation of the entire storage module.

[0032] Working principle: During operation, the storage module body 13 generates heat. Multiple heat dissipation fins 19 are fixedly connected to the side surface of the storage module body 13, increasing the heat dissipation area and enabling rapid absorption of the heat generated by the storage module body 13. The heat spreader 16 is movably connected to the side surface of the storage module body 13. It absorbs the heat from the heat dissipation fins 19 and distributes the heat evenly to improve heat dissipation efficiency. When the fan assembly on the side surface of the outer casing 7 is working, the motor 12 drives the fan blades 11 to rotate at high speed. The motor 12 is fixed to the inner wall of the air duct 1 by the bracket 10. The air duct 1 connects to the side surface of the outer casing 7. When the fan blades 11 rotate, they draw external air into the interior of the outer casing 7 through the air inlet 14 on the outer casing 7. When the drawn-in air flows through the heat dissipation fins 19 and the heat spreader 16, it carries away the heat from their surfaces. Then, the hot air is discharged to the outside of the outer casing 7 from the air outlet 3 on the protective plate 2 at the other end of the air duct 1, thereby achieving the purpose of accelerating heat dissipation.

[0033] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
