Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heat dissipation equipment technology, specifically a solid-state drive heat sink that is compatible with multiple lengths and sizes. Background Technology

[0002] In today's digital age, solid-state drives (SSDs) have become the mainstream choice for data storage due to their significant advantages such as high-speed read / write speeds, low power consumption, and strong shock resistance, making them widely used in various computer devices, servers, and mobile storage devices. However, as SSD performance continues to improve, the heat generated under high loads is also increasing. Excessive temperatures can lead to a decline in SSD performance, resulting in slower read / write speeds and unstable data transmission. Prolonged exposure to high temperatures can also accelerate the aging of internal electronic components, shortening the SSD's lifespan.

[0003] Based on the above, the inventors have discovered the following problems: There are various specifications of solid-state drives on the market. Although their widths are basically the same, their lengths are different. There are several mainstream lengths. However, most existing solid-state drive heat sinks are designed for a specific type of solid-state drive. A heat sink can often only be used to cool solid-state drives of one length.

[0004] Therefore, in view of this, we have studied and improved the existing structure and its shortcomings, and provided a solid-state drive heatsink that is compatible with various lengths and sizes, in order to achieve a more practical purpose. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a solid-state drive heatsink that is compatible with multiple lengths and sizes, in order to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that most existing solid-state drive heatsinks are designed for a specific type of solid-state drive, and a heatsink can often only be used to cool solid-state drives of one length.

[0006] In view of the above problems, the technical solution proposed by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A solid-state drive heatsink compatible with multiple lengths and sizes includes a frame. A pair of first sliding holes are provided on both end faces of the frame. A first sliding rod is slidably connected to the inner side of each first sliding hole. A crossbar is installed at one end of each first sliding rod. A clamping plate is installed on the side of the crossbar away from the frame. Several first heat dissipation fins are installed at the bottom end of one of the crossbars, and several second heat dissipation fins are installed at the bottom end of the other crossbar. Fan brackets are installed on both sides of the top of the frame. A cooling fan is installed at the bottom inside the fan bracket. A second sliding hole is provided in the middle of both end faces of the frame, and a reset mechanism for resetting the position of the crossbar is provided inside the second sliding hole.

[0008] Furthermore, the reset mechanism includes a second slide rod, which is slidably connected to the outer side of the second slide rod and the inner side of the second slide hole. One end of the second slide rod and the crossbar are fixedly connected on the side near the frame. A limit plate is installed on the other end of the second slide rod, and a reset spring is fitted on the outer side of the second slide rod.

[0009] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that, through the cooperation of the second slide bar, the limiting plate, and the return spring, when adjusting the crossbar, the spring is compressed and stores force, and after being released, the spring force pushes the second slide bar and the crossbar to return to their original positions, without the need for manual return.

[0010] Furthermore, one end of the reset spring is fixedly connected to one side of the limiting plate, and the other end of the reset spring is fixedly connected to the inner side of the frame.

[0011] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that a stable elastic reset structure is formed by fixing the two ends of the reset spring to the limiting plate and the frame respectively.

[0012] Furthermore, the first and second heat dissipation fins are staggered.

[0013] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the staggered distribution between the first and second heat dissipation fins facilitates the retraction of a pair of crossbars.

[0014] Furthermore, a protective net is installed at the top of the fan frame.

[0015] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that by installing a protective net on the top of the fan frame, dust and debris can be blocked from entering, preventing them from getting tangled in the cooling fan blades and avoiding fan failure or speed reduction due to interference from foreign objects.

[0016] Furthermore, anti-slip pads are installed on the bottom ends of adjacent sides of each pair of clamping plates.

[0017] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that by installing anti-slip pads on the bottom of adjacent sides of a pair of clamping plates, the friction with the surface of the solid-state drive is increased, preventing the solid-state drive from sliding or falling off during clamping.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This solid-state drive heatsink, compatible with various lengths and sizes, allows the crossbar to slide through the first sliding hole and the first sliding rod, thereby adjusting the spacing of the clamping plate to accommodate solid-state drives of different lengths. The first and second heat dissipation fins increase the heat dissipation area, and the fan bracket and cooling fan improve heat dissipation efficiency. The second sliding hole and reset mechanism ensure that the crossbar automatically resets after adjustment, facilitating quick replacement of solid-state drives and improving ease of use. Through the cooperation of the second sliding rod, the limiting plate, and the reset spring, the spring is compressed and stores force when the crossbar is adjusted, and when released, the spring force pushes the second sliding rod and the crossbar to reset, eliminating the need for manual adjustment. The system features a return spring that is fixed to the limiting plate and frame at both ends, forming a stable elastic return structure. The staggered distribution of the first and second heat dissipation fins facilitates the retraction of the pair of crossbars. A protective net at the top of the fan bracket prevents dust and debris from entering and entangled in the cooling fan blades, avoiding fan malfunctions or speed reduction due to foreign object interference. Anti-slip pads are installed on the adjacent bottom ends of the pair of clamping plates to increase friction with the solid-state drive surface, preventing the solid-state drive from sliding or falling off during clamping. This invention effectively achieves length adjustment, easily adapting to solid-state drives of different lengths, and has high practical value. Attached Figure Description

[0026] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a solid-state drive heatsink compatible with multiple lengths and sizes, including a frame 100. A pair of first sliding holes 10001 are provided on both ends of the frame 100. A first sliding rod 104 is slidably connected to the inner side of the first sliding hole 10001. A crossbar 101 is installed at one end of the first sliding rod 104. A clamping plate 102 is installed on the side of the crossbar 101 away from the frame 100. Several first heat dissipation fins 107 are installed at the bottom end of one crossbar 101, and several second heat dissipation fins 108 are installed at the bottom end of the other crossbar 101. Fan brackets 105 are installed on both sides of the top of the frame 100. The bottom of the fan bracket 105 is equipped with... The frame 100 has a cooling fan 106 and a second sliding hole 10002 at the middle of each end face. The inner side of the second sliding hole 10002 is provided with a reset mechanism 103 for resetting the position of the crossbar 101. The crossbar 101 can slide through the first sliding hole 10001 and the first sliding rod 104, thereby driving the clamping plate 102 to adjust the spacing and making it compatible with solid-state drives of different lengths. The first heat dissipation fins 107 and the second heat dissipation fins 108 increase the heat dissipation area. The fan bracket 105 and the cooling fan 106 improve the heat dissipation efficiency. The second sliding hole 10002 and the reset mechanism 103 ensure that the crossbar 101 can automatically reset after adjustment, which facilitates quick replacement of solid-state drives and improves the ease of use.

[0027] 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.

[0028] Please see Figures 1-5The reset mechanism 103 includes a second slide rod 10301, which is slidably connected to the outer side of the second slide rod 10301 and the inner side of the second slide hole 10002. One end of the second slide rod 10301 is fixedly connected to the crossbar 101 on the side near the frame 100. A limit plate 10302 is installed on the other end of the second slide rod 10301. A reset spring 10303 is fitted on the outer side of the second slide rod 10301, and one end of the reset spring 10303 is fixedly connected to one side of the limit plate 10302. Then, the other end of the return spring 10303 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the frame 100. Through the cooperation of the second slide rod 10301, the limiting plate 10302, and the return spring 10303, when adjusting the crossbar 101, the spring is compressed and stores force. After being released, the spring force pushes the second slide rod 10301 and the crossbar 101 to return to their original positions without manual return. The two ends of the return spring 10303 are fixed to the limiting plate 10302 and the frame 100 respectively, forming a stable elastic return structure.

[0029] 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.

[0030] Please see Figures 1-5 The first heat dissipation fins 107 and the second heat dissipation fins 108 are staggered. A protective net is installed on the top of the fan bracket 105. Anti-slip pads 10201 are installed on the bottom of adjacent sides of the pair of clamping plates 102. The staggered distribution of the first heat dissipation fins 107 and the second heat dissipation fins 108 facilitates the retraction of the pair of crossbars 101. The protective net installed on the top of the fan bracket 105 can block dust and debris from entering and prevent them from wrapping around the blades of the cooling fan 106, thus avoiding fan failure or speed reduction due to interference from foreign objects. The anti-slip pads 10201 installed on the bottom of adjacent sides of the pair of clamping plates 102 increase the friction with the surface of the solid-state drive and prevent the solid-state drive from sliding or falling off during clamping.

[0031] Specifically, the working principle of this solid-state drive (SSD) heatsink compatible with various lengths is as follows: During use, the first sliding hole 10001 engages with the first sliding rod 104, allowing the crossbar 101 to slide, which in turn adjusts the spacing of the clamping plate 102, accommodating SSDs of different lengths. The first heat dissipation fins 107 and the second heat dissipation fins 108 increase the heat dissipation area. The fan bracket 105 and the cooling fan 106 enhance heat dissipation efficiency. The second sliding hole 10002 and the reset mechanism 103 ensure that the crossbar 101 automatically resets after adjustment, facilitating quick SSD replacement and improving ease of use. Through the cooperation of the second sliding rod 10301, the limiting plate 10302, and the reset spring 10303, when adjusting the crossbar 101, the spring compresses and stores force; upon release, the spring force pushes the second sliding rod 10301 and the crossbar 104 together. The rod 101 resets without manual return. The two ends of the reset spring 10303 are fixed to the limiting plate 10302 and the frame 100 respectively, forming a stable elastic reset structure. The staggered distribution between the first heat dissipation fins 107 and the second heat dissipation fins 108 facilitates the retraction of the pair of crossbars 101. A protective net is installed on the top of the fan bracket 105 to block dust and debris from entering and preventing them from entangled in the blades of the cooling fan 106, thus avoiding fan failure or speed reduction due to foreign object interference. Anti-slip pads 10201 are installed on the adjacent bottom ends of the pair of clamping plates 102 to increase the friction with the surface of the solid-state drive and prevent the solid-state drive from sliding or falling off during clamping. This utility model can effectively realize the length adjustment function, which can easily adapt to solid-state drives of different lengths and has high practical value.
