Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of HDD module bracket technology, specifically a double-layer HDD module bracket structure. Background Technology

[0002] HDD is an abbreviation for "Hard Disk Drive," which is the most basic computer storage device. A hard disk drive refers to the device in a personal computer that controls hard disk addressing and data access. Through the hard disk drive, the computer can store data.

[0003] Hard disk drives are typically used to store and retrieve digital information. Common disk capacities include 80G, 128G, 160G, 256G, 320G, 500G, 750G, 1TB, and 2TB.

[0004] Traditional hard disk drive (HDD) modules require a bracket structure for assembly during system installation. However, traditional HDD module brackets can only be used for horizontal assembly, which takes up a lot of internal assembly space in the chassis and affects the assembly effect. Therefore, this invention proposes a double-layer HDD module bracket structure. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a dual-layer HDD module support structure to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a double-layer HDD module support structure, including an assembly frame, wherein several horizontally arranged lower support plates are fixedly installed inside the assembly frame, and an upper support plate is provided on each of the lower support plates. An HDD module is movably inserted into each of the lower support plates and the upper support plate. The lower support plate includes a primary support plate, and a front panel is provided at the top of the primary support plate. A primary fixing hole for mounting the assembly frame is opened on one side of the lower surface of the primary support plate. A frame assembly hole for assembling with the upper support plate is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the front panel. Primary limiting plates are fixedly installed on the inner walls of both sides of the upper surface of the primary support plate. The primary limiting plates adopt a side "L" shaped structure design.

[0007] Preferably, the upper support plate includes a secondary support plate, and a support plate fixing hole adapted to the support plate assembly hole is provided on one side of the lower surface of the secondary support plate.

[0008] Preferably, a secondary limiting plate is fixedly installed on both inner walls of the secondary tray, and the secondary limiting plate has the same structure and shape as the primary limiting plate.

[0009] Preferably, both the lower support plate and the upper support plate have ventilation slots for vertical ventilation.

[0010] Preferably, the front panel of the assembly frame is provided with heat dissipation slots.

[0011] Preferably, the lower support plate and the upper support plate are all designed as an integrally formed structure with the corresponding substructure.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] This utility model utilizes the combined structure of an upper and lower support plate to provide a double-layer HDD module support and installation effect. It allows for stackable assembly of the modules, effectively increasing the number of HDD modules that can be assembled, thus improving computer performance. Simultaneously, it minimizes the use of lateral space in the chassis, reducing space requirements during module assembly. This double-layer stacking assembly feature enhances usability, increasing the number of HDD modules without increasing lateral space usage, effectively saving internal chassis space and facilitating double-layer assembly. Furthermore, the simple support plate structure and low manufacturing cost of this utility model effectively reduce operating costs, resulting in a double-layer, low-cost practical application.

[0014] Meanwhile, the bracket plate of this utility model can limit the HDD module after it is assembled by setting a first-level limiting plate, so that the HDD module cannot move forward, nor can it move up and down or left and right. It can effectively limit the posture of the HDD module and prevent the HDD module from shaking inside the bracket plate.

[0015] When assembling an HDD module, it can only be inserted or removed from the rear end of the bracket plate. Therefore, it only has a one-way pull-out assembly effect, which effectively improves the stability of the HDD module inside the bracket plate. It is more practical and the bracket limit provides higher stability. It can effectively prevent the HDD module from shaking in multiple directions and improve the stability of the HDD module.

[0026] Please see Figure 1-6 The present invention provides an embodiment of a double-layer HDD module support structure, including an assembly frame 1. Several horizontally arranged lower support plates 2 are fixedly installed inside the assembly frame 1. Each lower support plate 2 is provided with an upper support plate 3. An HDD module 4 is movably inserted into each lower support plate 2 and the upper support plate 3, thereby ensuring the normal insertion and use of the HDD module 4.

[0027] Furthermore, the lower support plate 2 includes a primary support plate 201, a front rail plate 205 is provided at the top of the primary support plate 201, a primary fixing hole 203 for mounting the assembly frame 1 is provided on one side of the lower surface of the primary support plate 201, a frame assembly hole 204 for assembling with the upper support plate 3 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the front rail plate 205, and a primary limiting plate 202 is fixedly installed on the inner walls of both sides of the upper surface of the primary support plate 201. The primary limiting plate 202 adopts a side "L" shaped structure design.

[0028] This structural design, through the set first-level support plate 201, can support the bottom of the HDD module 4, ensuring the normal module support effect of the lower bracket of this utility model. The set first-level limiting plate 202 can limit the HDD module 4 after assembly, preventing the HDD module 4 from moving forward, and also preventing it from moving up, down, left, or right. It can effectively limit the posture of the HDD module 4 and prevent the HDD module from shaking inside the bracket plate.

[0029] When assembling the HDD module 4, it can only be inserted or removed from the tail end of the bracket plate. Therefore, it has only a one-way pull-out assembly effect, which effectively improves the stability of the HDD module 4 inside the bracket plate. It is more practical and the bracket limit is more stable. It can effectively prevent the HDD module 4 from shaking in multiple directions and improve the stability of the HDD module 4.

[0030] Furthermore, the lower support plate 2 of this utility model can be fixedly installed in the assembly frame 1 by bolts through the first-level fixing hole 203. The lower support plate 2 can be internally arranged and assembled by the horizontal installation method to ensure the normal use effect of the lower support plate 2.

[0031] The upper support plate 3 includes a secondary support plate 301, and a support plate fixing hole 303 adapted to the support plate assembly hole 204 is provided on one side of the lower surface of the secondary support plate 301.

[0032] Secondary limiting plates 302 are fixedly installed on both inner walls of the secondary tray 301. The secondary limiting plates 302 have the same structure and shape as the primary limiting plates 202, so the function of the secondary limiting plates 302 is the same as that of the primary limiting plates 202.

[0033] When the upper support plate 3 is assembled, it can be stacked on the lower support plate 2. After the upper support plate 3 is placed on the upper surface of the lower support plate 2, the mounting holes 303 and 204 of the lower support plate 2 are aligned. Then, bolts for connecting the plates are installed in the two aligned holes, thus completing the fixed connection between the upper support plate 3 and the lower support plate 2. Through the structural cooperation of the upper support plate 3 and the lower support plate 2, the support structure of this utility model can have a double-layer HDD module support and installation effect, and can perform stacked frame assembly work. When assembling HDD modules, the double-layer bracket structure design effectively increases the number of HDD modules that can be assembled, improving computer performance, while not occupying too much horizontal space in the chassis. This reduces the space occupied during module assembly and provides practical double-layer stacking assembly characteristics, enhancing usability. It increases the number of HDD modules that can be assembled without increasing the horizontal space occupied, effectively saving internal chassis space and facilitating double-layer assembly. Furthermore, the bracket plate structure of this invention is simple and has low manufacturing cost, thereby effectively reducing usage costs and providing a practical effect of double-layer and low-cost operation.

[0034] In this embodiment, to ensure structural ventilation between the upper and lower support plates, please refer to the appendix of the instruction manual for details. Figure 4 As shown, ventilation slots for vertical ventilation are provided on both the lower support plate 2 and the upper support plate 3. These ventilation slots ensure ventilation between the upper and lower support plates, thereby ensuring the heat dissipation effect of the HDD module.

[0035] In this embodiment, a heat dissipation groove 5 is provided on the front panel of the assembly frame 1 to ensure the heat dissipation and ventilation effect of the assembly frame 1.

[0036] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the integrated manufacturing of the upper and lower support plates, the lower support plate 2 and the upper support plate 3 are all designed as an integral molding structure with their respective substructures.

[0037] Working principle: In use, the lower support plate 2 can be evenly installed inside the assembly frame 1 through the primary fixing holes 203, as shown in the attached instruction manual. Figure 1 as well as Figure 3 As shown;

[0038] Then, the adapted HDD module 4 is inserted into the support plate from the tail end. The first-level support plate 201 supports the bottom of the HDD module 4, ensuring the normal module support effect of the lower support of this utility model. The first-level limiting plate 202 can limit the HDD module 4 after assembly, preventing the HDD module 4 from moving forward and from moving up, down, left, or right. This effectively limits the posture of the HDD module 4 and prevents the HDD module from shaking inside the support plate.

[0039] When assembling the HDD module 4, it can only be inserted or removed from the tail end of the bracket plate. Therefore, it has only a one-way pull-out assembly effect, which effectively improves the stability of the HDD module 4 inside the bracket plate. It is more practical and the bracket limit is more stable. It can effectively prevent the HDD module 4 from shaking in multiple directions and improve the stability of the HDD module 4.

[0040] When the upper support plate 3 is assembled, it can be stacked on the lower support plate 2. After the upper support plate 3 is placed on the upper surface of the lower support plate 2, the mounting holes 303 and 204 of the lower support plate 2 are aligned. Then, bolts for connecting the plates are installed in the two aligned holes, thus completing the fixed connection between the upper support plate 3 and the lower support plate 2. Through the structural cooperation of the upper support plate 3 and the lower support plate 2, the support structure of this utility model can have a double-layer HDD module support and installation effect, and can perform stacked frame assembly work. When assembling HDD modules, the double-layer bracket structure design effectively increases the number of HDD modules that can be assembled, improving computer performance, while not occupying too much horizontal space in the chassis. This reduces the space occupied during module assembly and provides practical double-layer stacking assembly characteristics, enhancing usability. It increases the number of HDD modules that can be assembled without increasing the horizontal space occupied, effectively saving internal chassis space and facilitating double-layer assembly. Furthermore, the bracket plate structure of this invention is simple and has low manufacturing cost, thereby effectively reducing usage costs and providing a practical effect of double-layer and low-cost operation.
