Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronic information storage device technology, specifically to a combined solid-state drive. Background Technology

[0002] Solid-state drives (SSDs) are computer storage devices that primarily use flash memory as their permanent storage medium. SSDs consist of a control unit and storage units (FLASH chips and DRAM chips), and are widely used in many fields such as industrial control, video surveillance, network monitoring, network terminals, and navigation equipment. Compared to hard disk drives (HDDs), SSDs offer significantly faster read and write speeds, but are also relatively more expensive.

[0003] Existing technologies require increasing the number of solid-state drives (SSDs) when expanding storage capacity. However, the limited internal installation space of the device makes it inconvenient to install the new SSDs.

[0004] Utility model CN209843252U discloses a hard drive rack based on a computer solid-state drive (SSD), including a placement rack, a placement plate fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the placement rack, a hard drive body placed on top of the placement plate, a fixing frame fixedly connected to the front side of the placement rack, a protective plate movably connected to the right side of the inner wall of the fixing frame, a limit mechanism fixedly connected to the inner wall of the protective plate, and a limit groove formed on the inner wall of the fixing frame to cooperate with the limit mechanism. This utility model utilizes the combined use of a placement rack, a limit mechanism, a limit plate, a movable plate, a spring, a fixing frame, a placement plate, a hard drive body, a protective plate, a sliding knob, a through-hole, a limit groove, a connecting block, a buffer pad, a slider, and a sliding groove.

[0005] However, in actual use, solid-state drives (SSDs) present a cumbersome installation process. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a modular solid-state drive that can effectively solve the technical problem of cumbersome installation of solid-state drives when expanding storage in the prior art.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0008] A modular solid-state drive includes a mounting frame and several hard drive bodies, with support bars on both sides of each hard drive body;

[0009] The placement rack has several placement slots arranged from top to bottom; one end of the support bar is fixedly set on the side of the hard disk body, and the other end has a gap with the side of the hard disk body. When the support bar is pressed, it deforms in the direction towards the hard disk body. The support bar and the placement rack are detachably connected.

[0010] Furthermore, the placement rack is provided with a slot that communicates with the placement groove, and a locking block that mates with the slot is provided on the support bar.

[0011] Furthermore, at least one support portion is provided at the bottom of the support bar, which contacts and is fixedly connected to the hard drive body.

[0012] Furthermore, the end of the support bar is provided with an outwardly extending and inclined extension.

[0013] Furthermore, a groove is provided on the side of the hard drive body, and an elastic block is provided in the groove, which contacts the support bar.

[0014] Furthermore, the elastic block is made of silicone or rubber.

[0015] Furthermore, the placement rack includes a first side plate, a second side plate, and a connecting frame. The first side plate and the second side plate are arranged in parallel, the connecting frame is connected to the top of the first side plate and the second side plate, and the placement slot is disposed on the first side plate and the second side plate.

[0016] Furthermore, weight reduction holes are provided on the first and second side plates.

[0017] Furthermore, positioning protrusions are provided at the bottom of the first side plate and the second side plate.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] In practical applications, this invention achieves rapid installation and positioning of the hard drive body by setting a placement slot on the placement rack. Since one end of the support bar is fixed to the side of the hard drive body, and the other end has a gap with the side of the hard drive body, the support bar deforms in the direction towards the hard drive body when pressed. The setting of the support bar forms a slide rail structure, which makes the installation of the hard drive body more stable. By fixing the hard drive body through the deformation of the support bar in the direction towards the hard drive body when pressed, this invention can effectively solve the technical problem of cumbersome installation of solid-state drives when expanding storage in the prior art.

[0034] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0035] See Figures 1-5 This embodiment discloses a combined solid-state drive, including a placement rack 101 and several hard drive bodies 102, with support bars 103 provided on both sides of the hard drive bodies 102;

[0036] The placement rack 101 has several placement slots 104 arranged from top to bottom; one end of the support bar 103 is fixedly set on the side of the hard disk body 102, and the other end has a gap 105 between it and the side of the hard disk body 102. When the support bar 103 is pressed, it deforms in the direction toward the hard disk body 102. The support bar 103 and the placement rack 101 are detachably connected.

[0037] In practical applications, this invention achieves rapid installation and positioning of the hard disk body 102 by setting a placement slot 104 on the placement rack 101. Since one end of the support bar 103 is fixedly set on the side of the hard disk body 102, and the other end has a gap 105 between it and the side of the hard disk body 102, the support bar 103 deforms in the direction towards the hard disk body 102 after being pressed. The setting of the support bar 103 forms a slide rail structure, which makes the installation of the hard disk body 102 more stable. By deforming the support bar 103 in the direction towards the hard disk body 102 after being pressed, the hard disk body 102 is fixed. This invention can effectively solve the technical problem of cumbersome installation of solid-state drives when expanding storage in the prior art.

[0038] This invention features support bars 103 on both sides of the hard drive body 102. One end of each support bar 103 is fixed, while the other end maintains a gap 105 between itself and the hard drive body 102. The mounting bracket 101 has multiple mounting slots 104. The support bars 103 can be detachably connected to the mounting bracket 101 after being deformed under pressure. The elastic deformation design of the support bars 103 causes them to bend inward under pressure when inserted into the mounting slots 104, using the rebound force to clamp and fix them to the mounting bracket 101. The gap 105 provides deformation space, preventing the support bars 103 from breaking due to excessive force. In practical applications, the hard drive can be fixed simply by pressing, without the need for tools. The multiple mounting slots 104 support the stacking of multiple hard drives, saving space.

[0039] Furthermore, in practical applications, the placement rack 101 is provided with a slot 106 communicating with the placement groove 104, and a locking block 107 that cooperates with the slot 106 is provided on the support bar 103. The cooperation between the locking block 107 and the slot 106 forms a mechanical lock to prevent the hard drive from falling out during vibration; it achieves the purpose of elastic clamping and mechanical locking, requiring the application of specific pressure to unlock, avoiding accidental dislodgement, and improving stability during use.

[0040] Furthermore, at least one bearing portion is provided at the bottom of the support bar 103, which contacts and is fixedly connected to the hard disk body 102. The bearing portion increases the contact area between the support bar 103 and the hard disk body 102, disperses stress concentration, and prevents the base of the support bar 103 from breaking due to repeated deformation. At the same time, the bearing portion serves as an installation reference to ensure hard disk alignment. The bearing portion is fixedly connected to the hard disk body by screws.

[0041] Furthermore, the end of the support bar 103 is provided with an outwardly extending and inclined extension 108. The hard disk body 102 can be removed by squeezing the extension 108, which improves the convenience of disassembly and assembly.

[0042] Furthermore, in some preferred embodiments, a groove is provided on the side of the hard drive body 102, and an elastic block 109 is disposed in the groove, which contacts the support bar 103. The elastic block 109 fills the gap between the support bar 103 and the hard drive, providing additional cushioning and compensating for deformation errors. At the same time, when the elastic block 109 is compressed, it provides a preload force to the support bar 103, ensuring the stable engagement of the slot 106 and the block 107.

[0043] The elastic block 109 is made of silicone or rubber.

[0044] Furthermore, the placement rack 101 includes a first side plate 110, a second side plate 111, and a connecting frame 112. The first side plate 110 and the second side plate 111 are arranged in parallel. The connecting frame 112 is connected to the top of the first side plate 110 and the second side plate 111. The placement slot 104 is disposed on the first side plate 110 and the second side plate 111.

[0045] The first side plate 110 and the second side plate 111 are provided with weight reduction holes 113.

[0046] Furthermore, positioning protrusions 114 are provided at the bottom of the first side plate 110 and the second side plate 111.

[0047] The weight-reducing holes 113 reduce weight and assist in heat dissipation, while the positioning protrusions 114 ensure that the mounting bracket 101 is aligned with the chassis, facilitating positioning during installation.

[0048] Furthermore, in practical applications, a cooling fan 115 is provided on the rack 101, and a heat dissipation channel is formed between adjacent hard disk bodies 102. The exhaust end of the cooling fan 115 is directly facing the heat dissipation channel. Under the action of the cooling fan 115, the heat dissipation efficiency can be improved and the service life of the hard disk body 102 can be extended.

[0049] Furthermore, in practical applications, the cooling fan 115 is installed inside the weight reduction hole 113 and fixed by screws or clips.
