Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical hard disk technology, specifically to a modular mechanical hard disk shock absorption and protection device with adjustable damping. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of information technology, hard disk drives (HDDs), as a widely used data storage device, still occupy an important position in many fields due to their high storage capacity and cost advantages. However, the internal mechanical structure of HDDs is extremely sensitive to vibration and shock, which can easily lead to data read errors or even hard drive damage. Therefore, in order to ensure the safety and stability of hard drives, various shock absorption and protection devices are constantly being developed.
[0003] Currently, most common hard drive shock absorption measures on the market employ fixed buffer structures, such as spring pads, foam pads, or rigid support frames, to secure the hard drive within a protective enclosure. While these structures can buffer vibrations to some extent, they have significant shortcomings. Firstly, the damping performance of fixed shock absorption structures is fixed and difficult to adjust according to different vibration environments. This results in insufficient shock absorption when vibrations are significant or the frequency of vibration changes. Secondly, traditional shock absorption devices are mostly rigid structures, lacking elastic adjustment capabilities. They cannot flexibly adapt to different operating conditions and installation environments, easily causing uneven or excessive stress on the hard drive, affecting its normal operation and lifespan. Summary of the Invention
[0004] Technical problems to be solved
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides an adjustable damping modular mechanical hard drive shock absorption and protection device to solve the aforementioned problems.
[0006] (II) Technical Solution
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an adjustable damping modular mechanical hard drive shock absorption and protection device, comprising an outer protective box and a hard drive, wherein the hard drive is specifically inserted into the interior of a buffer positioning component provided inside the outer protective box. The buffer positioning component includes side clamps, side clamping components, and elastic pressing components. Two side clamps clamp the left and right sides of the hard drive. Two side clamping components are respectively located on the left and right sides inside the outer protective box and clamp the outer sides of the side clamps. Two elastic pressing components clamp the upper and lower parts of the side clamps and the hard drive assembly. A damping adjustment column is threadedly connected to the center of the top of the outer protective box, and the bottom end of the damping adjustment column is rotatably connected to the center of the top of the upper elastic pressing component.
[0008] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the side clamping member includes an elastic arc-shaped top strip and a longitudinal slide. The longitudinal slide is distributed on the side wall of the outer protective box, and the elastic arc-shaped top strip is installed on the inner side of the longitudinal slide. The inner arc-shaped apex of the elastic arc-shaped top strip is connected to the outer center of the side clamping strip on the same side.
[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, vertical guide grooves are provided at both the front and rear ends of the inner sidewall of the outer protective box, and guide components that cooperate with the longitudinal slide to slide up and down under vibration are installed inside the vertical guide grooves at the front and rear ends.
[0010] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the guide assembly includes a guide rod installed inside the vertical guide groove, and a guide sleeve slidably sleeved on the guide rod, with the inner wall of the guide sleeve fixedly connected to the outer side of the longitudinal slide.
[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the elastic clamping component includes a rectangular plate, a spring damper, and an elastic gasket. There are two rectangular plates that are parallel to each other and are slidably engaged with the inside of the outer protective box. There are four spring dampers installed at the four corners between the upper and lower rectangular plates. The elastic gasket is installed between the upper and lower rectangular plates.
[0012] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a rotating ring is provided at the top of the damping adjustment column.
[0013] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the tail end of the outer protective box is provided with a port for inserting a hard drive, and a closable end cap is installed at the port.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a modular shock absorption and protection device for adjustable damping hard drives, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] This hard drive shock absorption device features an adjustable damping adjustment knob, allowing for flexible adjustment of the clamping force of the elastic clamping element. This enables precise adjustment of the shock absorption effect based on different installation environments and vibration intensities. Specifically, users simply rotate the ring on the damping adjustment knob located on the top of the outer protective casing to change the clamping force of the elastic clamping element, thereby adjusting the shock absorption performance of the hard drive. This design not only enhances the adaptability and versatility of the shock absorption device but also effectively avoids hard drive damage or insufficient shock absorption caused by excessive or insufficient clamping force.
[0016] Furthermore, the cooperation between the elastic arc-shaped top bar and the side clamping bar in the side clamping component, as well as the synergistic effect of the longitudinal slide and the guide components in the vertical guide groove, allows the hard drive to slide smoothly along the vertical guide groove when subjected to external vibrations, further improving the absorption and buffering effect of vibration energy. The combination structure of spring dampers and elastic pads inside the elastic clamping component provides multi-layered elastic support, enhancing the overall shock absorption performance. The modular design of the overall structure facilitates installation and maintenance, while ensuring that the hard drive receives stable protection under different operating conditions.
[0017] In summary, this mechanical hard drive shock absorption and protection device not only has excellent shock absorption performance, but also has convenient damping adjustment function, which can flexibly adjust the clamping force according to actual needs, significantly improving the shock resistance reliability and service life of the hard drive. It is especially suitable for use inside the body of equipment with large vibrations or complex environments, effectively ensuring the security and stability of data storage.

[0035] Please see Figure 1-7 An adjustable damping modular mechanical hard drive shock absorption and protection device includes an outer protective box 1 and a hard drive 2. The hard drive 2 is inserted into a buffer positioning member 3 located inside the outer protective box 1. The buffer positioning member 3 consists of side clamping strips 31, side clamping members 32, and elastic pressing members 33. There are two side clamping strips 31, which clamp the left and right sides of the hard drive 2 respectively; there are two side clamping members 32, which are arranged on the left and right sides inside the outer protective box 1 and clamp the outer sides of the side clamping strips 31 respectively; there are two elastic pressing members 33, which clamp the upper and lower parts of the combined side clamping strips 31 and hard drive 2 respectively. A damping adjustment screw 4 is threaded at the center of the top of the outer protective box 1. The bottom end of the damping adjustment screw 4 rotates and engages with the center of the top of the elastic pressing member 33 to realize the damping adjustment, thereby adapting to different installation environments and reducing the clamping force inside the installation body with large vibrations.
[0036] Specifically, the side clamping member 32 includes an elastic arc-shaped top strip 321 and a longitudinal slide 322. The longitudinal slide 322 is fixedly distributed on the side wall of the outer protective box 1, and the elastic arc-shaped top strip 321 is installed on the inner side of the longitudinal slide 322. Its inner arc-shaped apex is connected to the outer center of the side clamping strip 31 on the same side, ensuring that the side clamping strip 31 can achieve effective clamping and buffering under the action of the elastic arc-shaped top strip 321.
[0037] The front and rear ends of the inner sidewall of the outer protective box 1 are provided with vertical guide grooves 12. A guide assembly 34 is installed inside the vertical guide groove 12. The guide assembly 34 includes a guide rod 341 and a guide sleeve 342 slidably sleeved on the guide rod 341.

[0038] The elastic clamping component 33 consists of a rectangular plate 331, a spring damper 332, and an elastic washer 333. There are two rectangular plates 331, which are arranged parallel to each other vertically and are slidably engaged inside the outer protective box 1. Four spring dampers 332 are respectively installed at the four corners between the upper and lower rectangular plates 331, and the elastic washer 333 is placed between the upper and lower rectangular plates, forming an elastic clamping structure to achieve effective shock absorption protection for the hard drive 2.
[0039] The top of the damping adjustment column 4 is provided with a rotating ring 41, which allows the user to adjust the damping adjustment column 4 by rotating the rotating ring 41, thereby adjusting the clamping force of the elastic clamping member 33 and achieving the purpose of adjusting the shock absorption effect.
[0040] The outer protective box 1 has an opening at its rear end for inserting the hard drive 2. A closable end cap 11 is installed at the opening to protect the hard drive 2 and prevent external dust or debris from entering the outer protective box.
[0041] In summary, this embodiment, through the above structural design, can effectively reduce and protect the mechanical hard drive, and through the damping adjustment column (4), the damping damping can be adjusted to meet the needs of different usage environments.
