Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of portable hard drive technology, specifically a portable hard drive assembly and its shockproof sleeve. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of information technology, portable hard drives, as important devices for data storage and transmission, have been widely used in daily life and work. However, portable hard drives are usually quite delicate, containing key components such as circuit boards and hard drives. These components are sensitive to external forces such as vibration and impact. When using portable hard drives outdoors, various bumps and collisions are inevitable, which may cause the portable hard drive to be vibrated or impacted, leading to damage to internal components and serious problems such as data loss and the inability of the hard drive to read or write normally, causing great inconvenience and loss to users. To avoid vibration and impact, existing portable hard drives usually have shockproof covers on their outer shell.
[0003] Traditional shockproof sleeves are mostly made of silicone. While they can provide cushioning and shock absorption, they can also hinder the normal heat dissipation of the external hard drive. Some shockproof sleeves have large through-holes in the flat area of the silicone sleeve to help dissipate heat from the external hard drive. However, these types of shockproof sleeves offer poor protection for the external hard drive and cannot provide comprehensive protection.
[0004] Therefore, we have designed a portable hard drive assembly and its shockproof sleeve to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of the existing technology by providing a portable hard drive assembly and its shockproof sleeve, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a shockproof sleeve for a portable hard drive assembly, comprising a protective shell, the protective shell being composed of a shell and a cover, with insertion holes on the front side of the shell and the rear side of the cover, the cover being installed on the front side of the shell, the insertion hole on its rear side being aligned with the insertion hole on the front side of the shell, a first annular silicone strip being fixed inside the insertion hole inlet of both the shell and the cover, an arc-shaped silicone pad being fixed at the bottom corner of the insertion hole of both the shell and the cover, multiple vertical second silicone strips being fixed at the bottom of the insertion hole of both the shell and the cover, multiple U-shaped third silicone strips being fixed inside the left and right sides of the insertion hole of the shell, and rectangular through holes being opened on the top and bottom surfaces of both the shell and the cover, with protective mesh installed on the rectangular through holes.
[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, connecting plates are fixed on the outer sides of both the left and right sides of the shell cover. The rear end of the connecting plates extends beyond the shell cover and is fixed to the shell by screws.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the left and right sides and the rear side of the housing are provided with a plurality of equally spaced heat dissipation holes.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, both the shell and the cover are made of aluminum alloy.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, the protective mesh is made of aluminum alloy.
[0011] A portable hard drive assembly, including a portable hard drive assembly shockproof sleeve, also includes a housing, the surface of which has a plurality of equally spaced strip-shaped protrusions, the interior of which is equipped with a circuit board and a solid-state drive, and the front of which is equipped with a data interface.
[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the outer shell is inserted inside the housing and the cover, and the first silicone strip, the silicone gasket, the second silicone strip and the third silicone strip are all in close contact with the surface of the outer shell.
[0013] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a through hole is provided on the front side of the cover corresponding to the data interface position of the outer shell. The size of the through hole is larger than the size of the data interface, and a silicone plug is inserted into the through hole.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a portable hard drive assembly and its shockproof sleeve, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] 1. This shockproof sleeve for portable hard drive components, through the combination of a shell, a cover, and a protective mesh, can build a protective shell on the outside of the portable hard drive components, thus providing all-round protection for the portable hard drive components. By setting silicone strips and silicone pads inside the protective shell, it can play a buffering role, avoiding damage to the portable hard drive components from vibration and impact. The rectangular through holes on the shell and cover can effectively promote air circulation, dissipate the heat generated by the portable hard drive during operation, and ensure the normal operating temperature of the portable hard drive.
[0016] 2. This portable hard drive assembly, by setting strip-shaped protrusions on the surface of the casing, can not only increase the strength of the casing and make it more durable, but also increase the heat dissipation area of the casing to help the portable hard drive dissipate heat.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1-5 This embodiment provides a shockproof sleeve for a portable hard drive assembly and its application in the portable hard drive assembly. The shockproof sleeve includes a protective shell, which consists of a housing 1 and a cover 2. The housing 1 and the cover 2 both have insertion holes on their front and rear sides. The cover 2 is installed on the front side of the housing 1, with its rear insertion hole aligned with the front insertion hole of the housing 1. A first annular silicone strip 3 is fixed inside the insertion hole inlets of both the housing 1 and the cover 2. When the outer casing 9 of the portable hard drive assembly is inserted, the first silicone strip 3 provides initial positioning. An arc-shaped silicone pad 4 is fixed at the bottom corner of the insertion holes of both the housing 1 and the cover 2. When the portable hard drive is subjected to vibration... The silicone pad 4 can absorb some of the impact force and protect the corners of the hard drive from damage. Multiple vertical second silicone strips 5 are fixed to the bottom of the insertion holes of the housing 1 and the cover 2, which can further buffer the vertical vibration of the horizontal impact. Multiple U-shaped third silicone strips 6 are fixed to the inner sides of the insertion holes on both sides of the housing 1, which are used to buffer the vertical and horizontal vibrations, thereby achieving all-round protection for the portable hard drive. Rectangular through holes are opened on the top and bottom surfaces of the housing 1 and the cover 2, and protective nets 7 are installed on the rectangular through holes. The protective nets 7 are set to ensure ventilation and heat dissipation, and can also prevent foreign objects from directly colliding with the portable hard drive.
[0025] The portable hard drive assembly includes a casing 9. The surface of the casing 9 has multiple evenly spaced strip-shaped protrusions 10. These protrusions increase the casing 9's strength and heat dissipation area. Inside the casing 9 are a circuit board and a solid-state drive (SSD). The circuit board contains a control chip responsible for the portable hard drive's read and write performance. The SSD is the core component for data storage, using flash memory chips. A data interface is located on the front of the casing 9 for connecting external devices. This Type-C interface can transmit data and supply power simultaneously to meet the portable hard drive's needs. For power supply requirements, the outer casing 9 is inserted inside the casing 1 and the cover 2. The first silicone strip 3, silicone pad 4, second silicone strip 5 and third silicone strip 6 are all in close contact with the surface of the outer casing 9 to form a good shockproof and buffer structure. The front side of the cover 2 has a through hole corresponding to the data interface position of the outer casing 9. The size of the through hole is larger than the size of the data interface to facilitate the insertion and removal of the data cable. A silicone plug 11 is inserted into the through hole. When the data interface is not in use, the silicone plug 11 can protect the data interface. The silicone plug 11 can be connected to the cover 2 with a rope to prevent the silicone plug 11 from being lost or falling off.
[0026] Example 2: Based on Example 1, this example further optimizes the installation method of the housing 1 and the cover 2. Connecting plates 8 are fixed on the outer sides of both sides of the cover 2. The rear end of the connecting plate 8 extends beyond the cover 2 and is fixed to the housing 1 by screws, so that the housing 1 and the cover 2 are firmly connected. The screw holes on the connecting plate 8 are countersunk holes, which can allow the head of the screw to be fully recessed into the connecting plate 8, thereby making the surface of the connecting plate 8 flat and improving the overall aesthetics of the shockproof sleeve.
[0027] Example 3: Based on Example 1, this example further optimizes the structure and materials of each component of the shockproof case. Multiple equally spaced heat dissipation holes are opened on the left, right, and rear sides of the shell 1 to improve the heat dissipation effect of the portable hard drive inside the shockproof case. Both the shell 1 and the cover 2 are made of aluminum alloy, and the protective mesh 7 is made of aluminum alloy. Aluminum alloy has good strength and thermal conductivity, which can effectively protect the portable hard drive and assist in heat dissipation. Moreover, aluminum alloy is lightweight and convenient for users to carry.
[0028] Usage Procedure: When using this portable hard drive assembly, first assemble the outer shell 9 and the shockproof sleeve. Insert the rear of the outer shell 9 into the housing 1, then insert the front of the outer shell 9 into the cover 2. Finally, use screws to fix the connecting plates 8 on both sides of the cover 2 to the housing 1. The shockproof sleeve 2 is now assembled. At this point, the outer shell 9 is completely enclosed within the protective shell composed of the housing 1, cover 2, and protective mesh 7. This protective shell prevents the portable hard drive from being directly impacted. The first silicone strip 3, silicone pad 4, second silicone strip 5, and third silicone strip 6 inside the protective shell are all in close contact with the outer shell 9. When the disk is dropped or hit by a foreign object, these silicone strips and pads can act as a buffer to protect the external hard drive from impact damage. During daily use, if you need to connect to an external device for data transfer, you can remove the silicone plug 11 on the front of the cover 2, insert the data cable into the data interface, and unplug the data cable after use, and put the silicone plug 11 back in to protect the data interface. When the external hard drive generates heat during operation, the heat dissipation holes on the casing 1, as well as the rectangular through holes on the casing 1 and the cover 2, can effectively promote air circulation, dissipate heat, and ensure the normal operating temperature of the external hard drive.
[0029] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
