[0030] A hard drive is a storage device used for storing and retrieving data. Currently, hard drives are typically installed in a hard drive bracket using a plug-in / plug-out method. Shock-absorbing pads are placed between the hard drive and the bracket to buffer vibrations and reduce noise. However, hard drives are usually plugged in and out in a straight line. During this process, the shock-absorbing pads rub from one end of the hard drive's side to the other, resulting in an excessively long contact path between the hard drive and the pads. This can easily cause the pads to wear out, deform, or even be pushed off, reducing the hard drive's shock absorption effect.

[0031] In view of this, the present invention provides an embodiment of a hard disk assembly 100, which can shorten the path length of contact friction between the hard disk and the shock absorber 3 during the insertion and removal of the hard disk.

[0032] To facilitate the reader's understanding of the concept of this utility model embodiment, the specific structure of the hard disk assembly 100 is described below:

[0033] Please see Figures 1 to 3 The hard disk assembly 100 includes a bracket 1, a hard disk body 2, and a shock absorber 3. The bracket 1 is provided with a first opening 11, a second opening 12, a third opening 13, and a receiving cavity 14. The first opening 11, the second opening 12, and the third opening 13 are all connected to the receiving cavity 14. The first opening 11 is connected to the second opening 12 and is set at a preset angle. The first opening 11 and the third opening 13 are opposite to each other. The first opening 11 and the second opening 12 are used for the hard disk body 2 to tilt and enter and exit the receiving cavity 14. The third opening 13 is used for cables to enter and exit the receiving cavity 14. The hard disk body 2 is disposed in the receiving cavity 14. The shock absorber 3 is elastic and is disposed on the bracket 1. The shock absorber 3 extends at least partially into the receiving cavity 14. The portion of the shock absorber 3 extending into the receiving cavity 14 is located between the bracket 1 and the hard disk body 2. The portion of the shock absorber 3 extending into the receiving cavity 14 abuts against the hard disk body 2.

[0034] Compared to the straight insertion and removal method of the hard disk body 2, the hard disk body 2 in this embodiment of the present invention can be inserted and removed at an angle through the above method, which reduces the resistance encountered by the hard disk body 2 during the insertion and removal process, shortens the path length of the contact friction between the hard disk body 2 and the shock absorber 3, reduces the wear and deformation of the shock absorber 3 and the probability of it being pushed off, and improves the shock absorption effect of the hard disk assembly 100.

[0035] To facilitate the reader's understanding of the insertion and removal process of this utility model embodiment, an example is provided below: Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 There are two shock absorbers 3, spaced apart along the length of the hard drive body 2 on the bracket 1. When the hard drive body 2 is in a preset first position relative to the bracket 1, the hard drive body 2 and the bracket 1 are parallel, one shock absorber 3 abuts against one end of the hard drive body 2, and the other shock absorber 3 abuts against the other end of the hard drive body 2. When the hard drive body 2 moves to a preset second position relative to the bracket 1, the hard drive body 2 and the bracket 1 are tilted, one shock absorber 3 separates from one end of the hard drive body 2, and the other shock absorber 3 abuts against the other end of the hard drive body 2. Specifically, when the hard drive body 2 is in the preset first position relative to the bracket 1, it is in a parallel installation state; when the hard drive body 2 is in the preset second position relative to the bracket 1, it is in a tilted disassembly state.

[0036] Regarding the aforementioned bracket 1, please refer to some embodiments. Figures 1 to 3The preset included angle between the first opening 11 and the second opening 12 is 90 degrees, and the first opening 11 and the second opening 12 together form an L-shaped semi-enclosed opening. In this way, not only can the straight insertion and removal of the hard drive body 2 relative to the bracket 1 be satisfied, but also the inclined insertion and removal of the hard drive body 2 relative to the bracket 1 can be satisfied, thus expanding the ways in which the bracket 1 can insert and remove the hard drive body 2 and improving the adaptability of the bracket 1 to the insertion and removal of different hard drive bodies 2.

[0037] Regarding the aforementioned bracket 1, please refer to some embodiments. Figure 3 and Figure 4 Along the length of the bracket 1, the extension length of the second opening 12 is greater than or equal to half the extension length of the bracket 1, and less than or equal to two-thirds of the extension length of the bracket 1. Specifically, if the extension length of the second opening 12 is N and the extension length of the bracket 1 is M, then 1 / 2M ≤ N ≤ 2 / 3M. By using the above method, when the extension length of the second opening 12 is greater than or equal to half the extension length of the bracket 1, it avoids the extension length of the second opening 12 being too small, increasing the tilt angle of the hard drive body 2 during insertion and removal, and increasing the probability of successfully shortening the path length of contact friction between the hard drive body 2 and the shock absorber 3. Furthermore, by using the above method, when the extension length of the second opening 12 is less than or equal to two-thirds of the extension length of the bracket 1, it avoids the extension length of the second opening 12 being too large, improving the structural strength and support stability of the bracket 1.

[0038] Regarding the aforementioned bracket 1, please refer to some embodiments. Figure 3 The bracket 1 has a notch 16 that communicates with the receiving cavity 14. The notch 16 is recessed at the periphery of the second opening 12 to communicate with the second opening 12. Along the width direction of the hard drive body 2, at least part of the hard drive body 2 is exposed through the notch 16, which is used for the user to hold the hard drive body 2. In this way, it is convenient for the user to insert the notch 16 from the periphery of the second opening 12 to hold the hard drive body 2, thereby facilitating the insertion and removal of the hard drive body 2.

[0039] Regarding the aforementioned bracket 1, please refer to some embodiments. Figure 3 The bracket 1 is provided with heat dissipation holes 17, which communicate with the receiving cavity 14. The heat dissipation holes 17 are used to dissipate heat from the hard drive body 2 from inside the receiving cavity 14 to the outside of the receiving cavity 14. The heat dissipation holes 17 are located on the top, bottom, or side surface of the bracket 1, and include, but are not limited to, several through holes 33 of different sizes or shapes. This method improves the heat dissipation efficiency of the hard drive body 2 and reduces the probability of insufficient heat dissipation affecting the performance of the hard drive body 2.

[0040] Regarding the aforementioned bracket 1, please refer to some embodiments. Figure 3 The bracket 1 is provided with a locking hole 15, which is connected to the receiving cavity 14. The locking hole 15 is used for the shock absorber 3 to be locked. The first opening 11 is opened at the first end of the bracket 1, the second opening 12 is opened on the top surface of the bracket 1, the third opening 13 is opened at the tail end of the bracket 1, and the locking hole 15 is opened on the side of the bracket 1.

[0041] Regarding the aforementioned shock absorber 3, please refer to some embodiments. Figure 3 The shock absorber 3 is snapped into the locking hole 15, with one end of the shock absorber 3 passing through the locking hole 15 and extending into the receiving cavity 14. The other end of the shock absorber 3 abuts against the hard drive body 2. In this way, the shock absorber 3 is fixed to the bracket 1 by snapping, realizing a detachable connection with the bracket 1, which facilitates the installation and removal of the shock absorber 3.

[0042] Furthermore, in some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 Both the locking hole 15 and the shock absorber 3 are columnar in shape. Along the width direction of the bracket 1, the cross-sectional shape of the locking hole 15 is the same as that of the shock absorber 3, but the cross-sectional area of ​​the locking hole 15 is smaller than that of the shock absorber 3. The cross-sectional shapes of the locking hole 15 and the shock absorber 3 include, but are not limited to, triangular, circular, square, or polygonal shapes.

[0043] Furthermore, in some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 The shock absorber 3 has a plurality of first protrusions 31 on one end face, which are arranged in an array and abut against the hard disk body 2. The end face of the shock absorber 3 abuts against the hard disk body 2. This method avoids direct contact between the end face of the shock absorber 3 and the hard disk body 2, allowing the shock absorber 3 to abut against the hard disk body 2 via the protrusions. This maintains good shock absorption while reducing the contact area between the shock absorber 3 and the hard disk body 2, thereby reducing the contact friction between the hard disk body 2 and the shock absorber 3 during insertion and removal, and thus reducing wear on the shock absorber 3 during these processes.

[0044] Furthermore, in some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 The cross-sectional shape of the first protrusion 31 along its length extension direction is arc-shaped.

[0045] Regarding the aforementioned shock absorber 3, please refer to some embodiments. Figure 3 The other end of the shock absorber 3 extends out of the receiving cavity 14 after passing through the locking hole 15. In this way, the shock absorber 3 can completely pass through the locking hole 15, increasing the contact area between the shock absorber 3 and the locking hole 15 and improving the installation stability of the shock absorber 3.

[0046] Regarding the aforementioned shock absorber 3, please refer to some embodiments. Figure 3The hard drive body 2 has screw holes (not shown in the figure); the shock absorber 3 has through holes 33, which are aligned with the screw holes; the hard drive assembly 100 also includes a screw connector 4, one end of which passes through the through hole 33 and is screwed into the screw hole, and the other end of which abuts against the end face of the other end of the shock absorber 3. Through this method, the shock absorber 3 is pressed and secured between the screw connector 4 and the hard drive body 2, further improving the installation stability of the shock absorber 3.

[0047] Furthermore, in some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 6 The other end face of the damper 3 is provided with a plurality of second protrusions 32, which are arranged in an array. The other end of the screw connector 4 abuts against the plurality of second protrusions 32. In this way, the sliding friction between the screw connector 4 and the damper 3 can be increased, that is, the sliding friction between the nut part of the screw connector 4 and the damper can be increased, thereby reducing the probability of the screw connector 4 rotating relative to the damper 3, and thus reducing the probability of the screw connector 4 loosening.

[0048] Furthermore, in some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 The cross-sectional shape of the second protrusion 32 along its length extension direction is arc-shaped.

[0049] In some embodiments, the shock absorber 3 is made of rubber (e.g., silicone, nitrile rubber), foam (e.g., PU foam, EVA foam) or engineering plastic (e.g., TPE, TPU).

[0050] In some embodiments, the shock absorber 3 includes a main body layer (not shown) and a wear-resistant layer (not shown). The wear-resistant layer covers the surface of the main body layer, or the wear-resistant layer encapsulates the main body layer. The wear-resistant layer may be formed by methods such as spraying, hot-applied coating, or sandblasting. These methods improve the wear resistance of the shock absorber 3, reducing wear during the insertion and removal of the hard drive body 2.

Compared to the straight insertion and removal method of the hard disk body 2, the hard disk body 2 in this embodiment of the present invention can be inserted and removed at an angle through the above method, which shortens the path length of the contact friction between the hard disk body 2 and the shock absorber 3, reduces the wear and deformation of the shock absorber 3 and the probability of it being pushed off, and improves the shock absorption effect of the hard disk assembly 100.
