Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of data storage device technology, and more specifically, it relates to a dual-interface data storage device. Background Technology

[0002] Dual-interface data storage devices refer to storage devices equipped with two different data interfaces (such as USB, Type-C, HDMI, Ethernet, SATA, etc.). Their core function is to meet diverse data transmission, storage, and interaction needs through multi-interface adaptation capabilities.

[0003] Existing dual-interface data storage devices typically have a protective casing on the outside, with the interface extending from an opening in the casing by sliding the storage device body. However, existing fixing methods mainly rely on damping friction between the storage device and the casing for positioning. This design has a significant drawback: during long-term use, the damping may gradually fail due to wear, causing the casing to be unable to reliably secure the storage device, thus affecting the protection of the storage device. Therefore, in view of this, this paper studies and improves the existing structure and its shortcomings, providing a dual-interface data storage device with greater practical value. Utility Model Content

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a dual-interface data storage device, which is achieved by the following specific technical means:

[0005] A dual-interface data storage device includes a memory body, an outer shell slidably connected to the outside of the memory body, two sets of openings corresponding to the two sets of interfaces of the memory body on the outer shell, a mounting hole on one side of the memory body, and a locking mechanism installed inside the mounting hole.

[0006] Furthermore, the locking mechanism includes a fixed base that is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting hole, a movable plate that is slidably connected to the inner side of the fixed base, two sets of locking blocks that are symmetrically fixedly installed on one side of the movable plate, and a connecting groove that is slidably connected to the fixed base on the outer shell, with multiple sets of locking holes corresponding to the locking blocks on the connecting groove.

[0007] Furthermore, a button is fixedly installed on the movable plate, and a through groove is provided on the connecting groove for sliding connection with the button, with one end of the button extending out of the through groove.

[0008] Furthermore, two sets of telescopic rods are symmetrically fixedly installed on the bottom inner wall of the fixed base. The telescopic ends of the telescopic rods are all fixedly connected to the bottom side of the moving plate. Springs are sleeved on the outer side of the telescopic rods, and the upper and lower ends of the springs abut against the bottom side of the moving plate and the bottom inner wall of the fixed base, respectively.

[0009] Furthermore, a cover plate is fixedly installed on the top side of the fixing base by fasteners. The cover plate has a through hole one corresponding to the locking block and a through hole two corresponding to the button.

[0010] Furthermore, the button is provided with anti-slip texture.

[0011] Furthermore, multiple sets of heat dissipation grooves are provided at equal intervals on one side of the outer casing, corresponding to the memory body.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. This utility model, through the cooperation of a telescopic rod and a spring, enables the moving plate to move automatically when the user presses the button and the locking block passes through the lock hole, thereby achieving stable fixation of the memory body. This avoids fixing the memory body solely through damping friction and can achieve long-term and effective protection of the memory body.

[0014] 2. This utility model can achieve stable fixation of the mounting base by using the connection hole and the connection groove, and reduce the overall space occupied by the memory body and the outer shell, thereby increasing the portability of the memory body and the outer shell.

[0025] Example:

[0026] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 5 As shown:

[0027] This utility model provides a dual-interface data storage device, including a memory body 1, a housing 2 slidably connected to the outside of the memory body 1, two sets of openings respectively on the housing 2 corresponding to the two sets of interfaces of the memory body 1, a mounting hole 3 on one side of the memory body 1, and a locking mechanism installed on the inside of the mounting hole 3.

[0028] The locking mechanism includes a fixed base 4 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting hole 3. A movable plate 6 is slidably connected to the inner side of the fixed base 4. Two sets of locking blocks 7 are symmetrically fixedly installed on one side of the movable plate 6. The outer shell 2 is provided with a connecting groove 11 slidably connected to the fixed base 4. The connecting groove 11 is provided with multiple sets of locking holes 12 corresponding to the locking blocks 7. When the two sets of locking blocks 7 are located in the two sets of locking holes 12 in the middle, both sets of interfaces on the memory body 1 are located inside the outer shell 2. When the locking blocks 7 are located in the two sets of locking holes 12 on one side of the two sets of locking holes 12 in the middle, one set of interfaces on the memory body 1 is located outside the outer shell 2.

[0029] The movable plate 6 is fixedly mounted with a button 8, and the connecting groove 11 is provided with a through groove 13 that is slidably connected to the button 8. One end of the button 8 extends through the through groove 13, which can conveniently drive the movable plate 6 and the memory body 1 to move.

[0030] Two sets of telescopic rods 9 are symmetrically fixedly installed on the bottom inner wall of the fixed base 4. The telescopic ends of the telescopic rods 9 are fixedly connected to the bottom side of the moving plate 6. Springs 10 are sleeved on the outer side of the telescopic rods 9. The upper and lower ends of the springs 10 abut against the bottom side of the moving plate 6 and the bottom inner wall of the fixed base 4, respectively, so that the moving plate 6 and the locking block 7 can automatically pop out after the moving plate 6 moves.

[0031] The top side of the fixed base 4 is fixedly installed with a cover plate 5 by fasteners. The cover plate 5 has a through hole one corresponding to the lock block 7 and a through hole two corresponding to the button 8 to prevent the moving plate 6 from falling off the fixed base 4.

[0032] The button 8 has anti-slip texture to increase the coefficient of friction on its surface.

[0033] The outer casing 2 has multiple sets of heat dissipation slots 14 equidistantly arranged on one side corresponding to the memory body 1, so as to facilitate heat dissipation of the memory body 1 during operation.

[0034] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: When the memory body 1 needs to be used, press button 8 to move the moving plate 6 and the locking block 7 until the locking block 7 disengages from the locking hole 12 located in the middle. Slide the memory body 1 through button 8 until the interface is fully extended from the opening. Release button 8. At this time, the moving plate 6 moves automatically under the action of spring 10 and moves the locking block 7 into the locking hole 12 located on one side, thus completing the fixation of the memory body 1. Connect the memory body 1 to other devices to start using it. After use, unplug the memory body 1, press button 8 to move the memory body 1 until the locking block 7 moves to the locking hole 12 located in the middle, release button 8, and the locking block 7 moves into the locking hole 12. The outer shell 2 begins to protect the memory body 1.

[0035] The embodiments of this utility model are given for illustrative and descriptive purposes only, and are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the utility model to the forms disclosed. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The embodiments were chosen and described in order to better illustrate the principles and practical applications of this utility model, and to enable those skilled in the art to understand this utility model and design various embodiments with various modifications suitable for a particular purpose.
