Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of medical device technology, and more specifically, to a hard disk assembly and a medical device including the hard disk assembly. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing and diversified demand for data storage, hard drives are widely used in various devices that require data storage. In particular, medical devices, which need to meet safety regulations, have high requirements for performance and stability, and are often transferred and moved between multiple departments, have high requirements for the stability, reliability and scalability of hard drives.
[0003] Currently, the common method for securing hard drives is to lock them onto a bracket using screws. However, screw-based fixing is a rigid contact method that cannot mitigate vibrations generated during use or transportation, potentially leading to data damage or loss and making it difficult to meet the requirements of medical devices. To address this issue, related technologies have proposed using spring assemblies to secure hard drives to brackets. However, while spring-based fixing can absorb vibrations, the numerous parts and complex structure of the spring assembly make installation cumbersome.
[0004] In conclusion, how to provide a safe, reliable, and easy-to-install hard drive mounting structure is a problem that needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0020] Optionally, in the above-mentioned hard disk assembly, the fixing part includes a screw hole, the rod part includes a threaded part and a smooth rod part disposed between the threaded part and the head, the threaded part is threadedly connected to the screw hole, and the smooth rod part passes through the gasket through hole.
[0021] Optionally, in the above-mentioned hard disk assembly, the outer diameter of the threaded portion is smaller than the outer diameter of the optical rod portion, so as to form a stepped surface at the junction of the two, and the stepped surface abuts against the outer surface of the hard disk.

[0046] This application discloses a hard disk assembly and a medical device to improve the safety, reliability, and convenience of hard disk installation.
[0047] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0048] The medical devices provided in this application include, but are not limited to, endoscope light sources, endoscope processors, medical auxiliary diagnostic equipment, and ultrasound equipment. The hard disk assemblies provided in this application are applicable to, but not limited to, the aforementioned medical devices. The hard disks in the hard disk assemblies provided in this application include, but are not limited to, mechanical hard disks. This application improves the rigid connection between the hard disk and the support by using fasteners and buffer pads, enabling effective cushioning in both the axial and radial directions between the hard disk and the support, and between the hard disk and the fasteners. Furthermore, the shock absorption of each hard disk assembly is independent of the others, thus facilitating the stacking of the hard disk assemblies. The following embodiments mainly describe the structure of the hard disk assemblies and the stacking method of the hard disk assemblies.
[0049] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1-6 The hard disk assembly provided in this application includes a bracket 11, a buffer pad 12, a fastener 13, and a hard disk 14. The hard disk 14 has a fixing part 141, which is used to install the hard disk 14 onto the bracket 11. The bracket 11 is the main structure for mounting the hard disk 14. It is understood that the structure of the bracket 11 can be configured according to the structure of the hard disk 14; it can be a frame structure, a box structure, or a plate structure, etc. The bracket 11 has a bracket through hole 111 corresponding to the fixing part 201 on the hard disk 14. The fastener 13 passes through the bracket through hole 111 to connect with the fixing part 201, thereby fixing the hard disk 14 to the bracket 11.
[0050] The buffer pads 12 are correspondingly arranged with the bracket through holes 111. It can be understood that the number and installation position of the buffer pads 12 correspond to the number and installation position of the fixing parts 201 on the hard drive 14, and the number and position of the bracket through holes 111 also cooperate with the fixing parts 201. For example, at least two fixing parts 201 are respectively opened on the opposite side walls of the hard drive 14, and at least two bracket through holes 111 are respectively opened on the opposite side walls of the bracket 11. Each bracket through hole 111 on each side wall is respectively provided with a buffer pad 12.
[0051] The cushioning pad 12 includes a first end 121, a second end 122, and a neck 123 disposed between the first end 121 and the second end 122. It is understood that the first end 121, the second end 122, and the neck 123 can be either an integral structure or a separate structure connected by a conventional fixing method. The outer diameter D1 of the first end 121 and the outer diameter D2 of the second end 122 are both larger than the outer diameter D3 of the neck 123, thus forming a groove around the first end 121, the second end 122, and the neck 123. The neck 123 can pass through the through hole 111 of the bracket, and the first end 121 and the second end 122 are respectively located on both sides of the bracket 11, that is, the bracket 11 is inserted into the groove formed by the first end 121, the second end 122, and the neck 123.
[0052] The buffer pad 12 is provided with a gasket through hole 124 that passes through the first end 121, the neck 123 and the second end 122. For example, the gasket through hole 124 is located at the center of the buffer pad 12. The diameter of the gasket through hole 124 is set according to the outer diameter of the fastener 13 so that the fastener 13 can pass through.
[0053] The fasteners 13 are correspondingly provided with the gasket through holes 124. It can be understood that the number of fasteners 13 corresponds to the number of gasket through holes 124. The fastener 13 includes a rod 131 and a head 132. The rod 131 passes through the gasket through hole 124 and is connected to the fixing part 201. The head 132 of the fastener 13 abuts against the first end 121, thereby mounting the hard disk 14 onto the bracket 11.
[0054] When assembling the hard disk assembly provided in this application, the buffer pad 12 is inserted into the bracket through hole 111, and the groove of the buffer pad 12 is aligned with the bracket 11. At this time, the first end 121 and the second end 122 are located on opposite sides of the bracket 11, specifically, the first end 121 is located on the outside of the bracket 11, and the second end 122 is located on the inside of the bracket 11. Then, the hard disk 14 is installed in the bracket 11, and the fixing part 201 on the hard disk 14 is aligned with the pad through hole 124. Then, the rod part 131 of the fastener 13 is passed through the pad through hole 124 and connected to the fixing part 201 on the hard disk 14. At this time, the head 132 of the fastener 13 abuts against the first end 121, that is, the fastener 13 presses the first end 121 between the bracket 11 and the fastener 13. Simultaneously, the fastener 13 pulls the hard drive 14 into close contact with the second end 122, that is, the second end 122 presses against the hard drive 14 between the bracket 11. Furthermore, in the radial direction, the neck 123 is pressed between the fastener 13 and the bracket 11 radially. Thus, the hard drive 14 and the bracket 11, and the hard drive 14 and the fastener 13, are both cushioned by buffer pads 12 in the axial and radial directions, providing shock absorption and effectively reducing vibrations generated during the use of the hard drive 14 and during machine handling, thus avoiding data corruption and other problems. In addition, the absence of complex spring assemblies simplifies the structure, making the installation of the hard drive 14 convenient.
[0055] In summary, the hard disk assembly provided by this application has a simple structure, the hard disk 14 is easy to install, and it can provide independent buffering and shock absorption for the hard disk 14, making the installation of the hard disk 14 safer and more reliable.
[0056] In some embodiments, the bracket through hole 111 includes a large-diameter portion 1111 and a small-diameter portion 1112 that are connected to each other. The diameter L1 of the large-diameter portion 1111 is larger than the diameter L2 of the small-diameter portion 1112. The large-diameter portion 1111 and the small-diameter portion 1112 can be directly connected or indirectly connected through a transition portion 1113. The bracket through hole 111 adopts an irregularly shaped hole with varying dimensions. The large-diameter portion 1111 is the large end of the bracket through hole 111, and the small-diameter portion 1112 is the small end of the bracket through hole 111, so as to cooperate with the buffer pad 12 and meet the installation requirements of the buffer pad 12. The buffer pad 12 can be inserted into the support through hole 111 through the large diameter portion 1111, and move relative to the support 11 to the small diameter portion 1112, so that the neck 123 is inserted into the small diameter portion 1112, and the first end 121 and the second end 122 are respectively located on both sides of the support, that is, the support 11 is inserted into the groove formed by the first end 121, the second end 122 and the neck 123. The support through hole 111 is configured as described above, which facilitates the installation of the buffer pad 12 and is less likely to damage the buffer pad 12. In other embodiments, the elasticity of the buffer pad 12 can also be used to squeeze it into the support through hole 111.
[0057] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 2-4 The outer diameter D3 of the neck 123 is equal to the aperture L2 of the small diameter portion 1112. The outer diameter D1 of the first end 121 and the outer diameter D2 of the second end 122 are both less than or equal to the aperture L1 of the large diameter portion 1111 and greater than the aperture L2 of the small diameter portion 1112, i.e., L2 < D1 ≤ L1 and L2 < D2 ≤ L1. It should be noted that the outer diameter D3 of the neck 123, the outer diameter D1 of the first end 121, and the outer diameter D2 of the second end 122 refer to the outer diameter of each part in its natural state. For example, in the natural state, the outer diameter D1 of the first end 121 and the outer diameter D2 of the second end 122 are similar to the diameter L1 of the large diameter portion 1111 of the bracket through hole 111, such as slightly smaller than the diameter L1 of the large diameter portion 1111, to facilitate the installation of the buffer pad 12; in the natural state, the outer diameter D3 of the neck 123 is equal to the diameter L2 of the small diameter portion 1112 of the bracket through hole 111, and the outer diameter D1 of the first end 121 and the outer diameter D2 of the second end 122 are both larger than the diameter L2 of the small diameter portion 1112, to ensure that after the fastener 13 fixes the hard disk 14, the buffer pad 12 and the bracket 11 fit tightly together.
[0058] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The bracket through-hole 111 includes a transition portion 1113 connecting the large-diameter portion 1111 and the small-diameter portion 1112. The width W1 of the transition portion 1113 is smaller than the aperture L2 of the small-diameter portion 1112. For example, the transition portion 1113 can be straight. With the provision of the transition portion 1113, after the buffer pad 12 moves from the large-diameter portion 1111 to the small-diameter portion 1112 under the action of thrust, due to the small width W1 of the transition portion 1113, the buffer pad 12 is not easy to exit from the small-diameter portion 1112 to the large-diameter portion 1111 when there is no reverse thrust. Therefore, the transition portion 1113 can play a limiting role for the buffer pad 12, making the installation of the buffer pad 12 more stable and reliable, facilitating the installation of the hard drive 14, and after the fastener 13 is connected to the hard drive 14, the tight contact between the buffer pad 12, the hard drive 14, and the bracket 11 is also more reliable. Furthermore, the large-diameter portion 1111 and the small-diameter portion 1112 are connected by a transition portion 1113, allowing the hole wall of the support through hole 111 to transition smoothly, avoiding the formation of sharp corners and preventing damage to the buffer pad 12. It is understood that the width W1 of the transition portion 1113 should not be too small to ensure that the buffer pad 12 can move from the large-diameter portion 1111 into the small-diameter portion 1112. For example, the width W1 of the transition portion 1113 is slightly smaller than the hole diameter L2 of the small-diameter portion 1112.
[0059] In some other embodiments, unlike the embodiments described above where the large-diameter portion 1111 and the small-diameter portion 1112 are connected via a transition portion 1113, in this embodiment, the large-diameter portion 1111 and the small-diameter portion 1112 are directly connected, and the width of the connection point is smaller than the aperture L2 of the small-diameter portion 1112. For example, the small-diameter portion 1112 is a three-quarter circular hole, or other partially circular hole larger than a semicircle. By setting the width of the connection point between the large-diameter portion 1111 and the small-diameter portion 1112 to be smaller than the aperture L2 of the small-diameter portion 1112, the transition portion 1113 can also serve the same limiting function for the buffer pad 12.
[0060] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The first end 121 has multiple protrusions 125 on its end face facing away from the second end 122. This end face is the one that contacts the head 132 of the fastener 13. By providing the protrusions 125 thereon, sufficient compression can be ensured when the buffer pad 12 is compressed, thus guaranteeing a cushioning effect. For example, the multiple protrusions 125 are evenly distributed circumferentially along the first end 121.
[0061] In some embodiments, the end face of the second end 122 facing away from the first end 121 is provided with a plurality of protrusions 125. The end face of the second end 122 facing away from the first end 121 is the end face of the second end 122 that contacts the hard disk 14. By providing protrusions 125 thereon, it can be ensured that the second end 122 has sufficient compression after the buffer pad 12 is pressed, so as to ensure the buffering effect. For example, the plurality of protrusions 125 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the second end 122.
[0062] In some embodiments, the inner wall surface of the gasket through-hole 124 is provided with a plurality of protrusions 125. Exemplarily, the plurality of protrusions 125 extend axially and are evenly distributed circumferentially along the gasket through-hole 124. By providing a plurality of protrusions 125 on the inner wall surface of the gasket through-hole 124, it can be ensured that the buffer pad 12 has sufficient compression to make tight contact with the fastener 13 after being pressed, thereby ensuring the buffering effect.
[0063] In some embodiments, the outer diameter of the head 132 is not less than the outer diameter D1 of the first end 121. For example, the outer diameter of the head 132 of the fastener 13 is the same as or slightly larger than the outer diameter D1 of the first end 121. When the fastener 13 is connected to the hard disk 14, its head 132 abuts against the first end 121. With the above arrangement, during the connection process of the fastener 13, its head 132 can sufficiently press against the first end 121, preventing the buffer pad 12 from loosening and becoming loosely fixed, further improving installation reliability.
[0064] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1The fixing part 14 includes a screw hole, and the rod part 131 of the fastener 13 includes a threaded part 1311, which is threaded to the screw hole. That is, the fastener 13 can be a screw, and the threaded connection is convenient for disassembly and assembly, and the connection is reliable. In other embodiments, the fixing part 14 and the fastener 13 can also adopt other mating fastening structures, such as a rotation snap-fit structure. For example, one of the fixing part 14 and the fastener 13 is provided with a slot, and the other is provided with a snap-fit head that can engage with the slot. The slot is arranged circumferentially along the fixing part 14 or the fastener 13, and the first end of the slot extends to the edge of the fixing part 14 or the fastener 13. The snap-fit head can be inserted into the slot from the first end and rotated along the slot to the second end of the slot to engage.
[0065] In some embodiments, the shank 131 of the fastener 13 includes a threaded portion 1311 and a smooth shank portion 1312 disposed between the threaded portion 1311 and the head 132. The threaded portion 1311 is used for threaded connection with the screw hole of the fixing portion 201, and the smooth shank portion 1312 is used for passing through the washer through hole 124. It is understood that the smooth shank portion 1312 is the unthreaded portion. By providing the smooth shank portion 1312, the fastener 13 can pass through the washer through hole 124 more smoothly, avoiding scratching the buffer pad 12 by the threads or excessive resistance.
[0066] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1-6 The outer diameter of the threaded portion 1311 is smaller than the outer diameter of the smooth portion 1312, forming a stepped surface 1313 at their junction. The stepped surface 1313 abuts against the outer surface of the hard disk 14. In other words, the rod portion 131 has a segmented structure, with the threaded portion 1311 having a smaller outer diameter and the smooth portion 1312 having a larger outer diameter, forming a stepped surface 1313 between them. The stepped surface 1313 serves as a limiting and positioning surface. After the fastener 13 and the hard disk 14 are tightened into place, the limiting effect of the stepped surface 1313 can prevent stripping or inward deformation of the bracket 11.
[0067] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 The bracket 11 includes a base plate 112 and two side plates 113. The base plate 112 mates with the bottom surface of the hard drive 14; the side plates 113 are located on opposite sides of the base plate 112 to mate with opposite sides of the hard drive 14. For example, the base plate 112 has side plates 113 on its left and right sides respectively, and the two side plates 113 mate with the left and right sides of the hard drive 14. The base plate 112 and the side plates 113 form a receiving groove, within which the hard drive 14 can be placed. It is understood that the base plate 112 and the side plates 113 can be either an integral structure or a separate structure connected by a conventional fixing method. The bracket 11, with this configuration, not only protects the hard drive 14 but also facilitates the fixing of the hard drive 14 to the corresponding device.
[0068] In some embodiments, the base plate 112 has a bracket through hole 111 to engage with the fixing part 201 located on the bottom surface of the hard disk 14, and / or the side plate 113 has a bracket through hole 111 to engage with the fixing part 201 located on the side wall of the hard disk 14. In one example, the two opposite side plates 113 each have a bracket through hole 111 to engage with the fixing part 201 located on the side wall of the hard disk 14, and the base plate 112 does not have a bracket through hole 111. During installation, the fastener 13 is connected to the fixing part 201 of the hard disk 14 through the bracket through hole 111 on the side plate 113. In another example, the base plate 112 has a bracket through hole 111 to engage with the fixing part 201 located on the bottom surface of the hard disk 14, and the side plate 113 does not have a bracket through hole 111. During installation, the fastener 13 is connected to the fixing part 201 of the hard disk 14 through the bracket through hole 111 on the base plate 112. In another example, the two opposing side plates 113 are each provided with bracket through holes 111 to engage with the fixing part 201 located on the side wall of the hard disk 14, and the bottom plate 112 is provided with bracket through holes 111 to engage with the fixing part 201 located on the bottom surface of the hard disk 14. During installation, the fastener 13 can be connected to the fixing part 201 on the bottom surface of the hard disk 14 via the bracket through holes 111 on the bottom plate 112, or the fastener 13 can be connected to the fixing part 201 on the side wall of the hard disk 14 via the bracket through holes 111 on the side plate 113, or the fixing parts 201 on the bottom and sides of the hard disk 14 can be connected to the fastener 13 respectively. With the above configuration, the bracket 11 can be adapted to hard disks 14 with fixing parts 201 located in different positions, providing better versatility.
[0069] Based on the hard disk components provided in the above embodiments, this application also provides a medical device, which includes any one of the hard disk components in the above embodiments. Since this medical device uses the hard disk components in the above embodiments, the beneficial effects of this medical device can be found in the above embodiments.
[0070] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 The medical device includes a mounting component 3, studs 2, and a top screw. There are at least two hard disk assemblies 1 stacked on the mounting component 3. Each hard disk assembly 1 has a corresponding connection hole 114 on its support bracket 11. Adjacent hard disk assemblies 1 are connected by studs 2. The first end of each stud 2 has an external thread 21, and the second end has a screw hole 22. The first end of the first layer of studs 2 passes through the connection hole 114 of the first layer of hard disk assembly 1 and is threadedly connected to the mounting component 3. Each subsequent layer of studs 2 passes through the connection hole 114 of its corresponding layer of hard disk assembly 1 and is connected to the stud 2 of the layer below it. The top screw passes through the connection hole 114 of the topmost hard disk assembly 1 and is threadedly connected to the screw hole 22 of the topmost stud 2.
[0071] When two hard disk assemblies 1 are stacked, only the first layer hard disk assembly 1, the top layer hard disk assembly 1, and the first layer studs 2 are included; the intermediate layer studs 2 are not included. The first layer studs 2 are also the top layer studs 2. When three hard disks 14 are stacked, the stack includes the first layer hard disk assembly 1, the second layer hard disk assembly 1, the third layer hard disk assembly 1, and the first layer studs 2 and the second layer studs 2. The second layer studs 2 are also the top layer studs 2, and the third layer hard disk assembly 1 is also the top layer hard disk assembly 1. When N hard disks 14 are stacked, N is a natural number greater than 3. The stack includes the first layer hard disk assembly 1, the second layer hard disk assembly 1, the third layer hard disk assembly 1…the Nth layer hard disk assembly 1, and the first layer studs 2, the second layer studs 2…the Nth layer studs 2 are also the top layer studs 2, and the Nth layer hard disk assembly 1 is also the top layer hard disk assembly 1.
[0072] Taking two stacked hard disk assemblies 1 as an example, a stud 2 is provided between the two hard disk assemblies 1. The first end of the stud 2 passes through the connection hole 114 of the first-layer hard disk assembly 1 and can be threadedly connected to the mounting component 3 to fix the first-layer hard disk assembly 1 to the mounting component 3. The top screw passes through the connection hole 114 of the upper-layer hard disk assembly 1 and is threadedly connected to the screw hole 22 at the second end of the stud 2, thereby fixing the upper-layer hard disk assembly 1 to the lower-layer hard disk assembly 1.
[0073] Taking a stack of three hard drive assemblies 1 as an example, studs 2 are provided between each pair of adjacent hard drive assemblies 1. The stud 2 between the second-layer hard drive assembly 1 and the bottom-layer hard drive assembly 1, i.e., the first-layer stud 2, has its first end passing through the connection hole 114 of the first-layer hard drive assembly 1 and being threadedly connected to the mounting component 3 to fix the first-layer hard drive assembly 1 to the mounting component 3. The stud 2 between the second-layer hard drive assembly 1 and the top-layer hard drive assembly 1, i.e., the second-layer stud 2, i.e., the top-layer stud 2, has its first end passing through the connection hole 114 of the second-layer hard drive assembly 1 and being threadedly connected to the screw hole 22 at the second end of the first-layer stud 2. The top screw passes through the connection hole 114 of the top-layer hard drive assembly 1 and is threadedly connected to the screw hole 22 at the second end of the top-layer stud 2, thereby fixing the top-layer hard drive assembly 1 to the second-layer hard drive assembly 1, thus achieving the fixed installation of the three hard drive assemblies 1.
[0074] When further stacking of hard drive assemblies 1 is required, remove the top screw and replace it with a stud 2 of appropriate height. Place another hard drive assembly 1 on the stud 2. Depending on the required number of hard drive assemblies 1, continue stacking upwards in the order of stud 2, hard drive assembly 1. After stacking is complete, use the top screw to lock the top hard drive assembly 1 to the lower stud 2, thus quickly completing the array stacking of hard drive assemblies 1. Furthermore, if there are subsequent expansion needs, simply remove the top screw of the top layer to continue adding.
[0075] In this embodiment, each hard disk assembly 1 independently provides shock absorption for the hard disk 14, without affecting each other, thus allowing them to be directly stacked for installation. Furthermore, the hard disk assemblies 1 can be quickly stacked to form a hard disk 14 array, facilitating subsequent maintenance and expansion as needed. Additionally, the use of studs 2 in conjunction with corresponding connection holes 114 on the hard disk 14 bracket allows the hard disk assemblies 1 to be quickly stacked into any number of hard disk 14 arrays, making installation convenient and applicable to a wider range of applications.
