Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of computer hardware peripheral device technology, and more specifically, to an external computer storage device bracket. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional desktop computers use mechanical hard drives and solid-state drives (SSDs) installed on corresponding interfaces on the motherboard inside the computer. When it is necessary to expand the computer's storage capacity or to transfer data to external storage devices, an external storage device must be connected to the computer. Data transfer is performed by plugging the data cable of the storage device into the corresponding USB port on the computer's external I / O panel. For additional expansion or when transferring a large amount of data, the connection time is relatively long.

[0003] The above-mentioned storage device connection methods have the following problems: First, the existing storage devices are placed directly on top of the computer case or on a nearby desktop, which is not stable enough and the cables are easy to fall off. At the same time, they are all passively cooled, and they are prone to overheating after long-term use. Second, the existing storage device connections occupy the corresponding USB ports on the computer's I / O panel. These USB ports are usually 2.0 protocol and limited in number, resulting in slow data transmission speeds. When a large number of storage devices are connected, it will affect the connection of other computer hardware (such as keyboards, mice, etc.). Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an external computer storage device bracket that can simultaneously install multiple storage devices. The data cable is connected to the SATA interface of the motherboard inside the computer case, resulting in faster transmission speeds. It does not occupy the external USB interface of the case and can actively dissipate heat for each storage device, improving the stability and safety of the storage devices during long-term use.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] An external computer storage device bracket includes a computer chassis. The rear side of the computer chassis has several PCI-E brackets arranged from top to bottom in the middle area. One of the PCI-E brackets is removed and a mounting plate is embedded in it. The mounting plate is connected to a connector via a ribbon cable. The connector is a vertical plate structure with several data interfaces evenly spaced from top to bottom. The data interfaces are aligned and inserted into the storage device. Each storage device has a support plate below it, which is connected to the outer side of an inner heat-conducting plate. A base plate is located above the heat-conducting plate, and an inverted concave bracket is fixedly connected to the back of the base plate.

[0007] As a further optimization of this solution, magnetic suction plates are installed between the vertical sections on both sides of the inverted concave bracket, and the middle area of ​​the horizontal section in the middle of the inverted concave bracket is connected by two telescopic connecting rods.

[0008] As a further optimization of this solution, a fan mounting bracket is provided in front of the base plate, a cooling fan is installed inside the fan mounting bracket, and L-shaped heat dissipation fins are filled between the fan mounting bracket and the base plate.

[0009] As a further optimization of this solution, the inner side of the heat-conducting plate is provided with several vertical through slots, and each vertical through slot is embedded with a heat-conducting copper pipe, which is connected to the heat dissipation fins above.

[0010] As a further optimization of this solution, the inner side of the junction box is connected to several SATA cables and a fan cable.

[0011] As a further optimization of this solution, the computer chassis has an I / O interface board on the upper rear side, a perforated heat dissipation mesh on one side and a cable management channel cover on the other side.

[0012] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] This invention utilizes an inverted concave bracket structure with a central telescopic link to adjust the width of the bracket, making it suitable for mounting computer cases of varying widths. By employing a heat-conducting plate, heat-conducting copper pipes, heat dissipation fins, and a cooling fan, it can effectively cool multiple storage devices on the outer side of the heat-conducting plate. Heat generated by the storage devices during prolonged operation is transferred to the heat dissipation fins via the heat-conducting copper pipes and then expelled from the sides and top by the cooling fan. This design allows for the active cooling of multiple externally mounted storage devices, improving the stability and safety of the storage devices during extended use.

[0014] This invention utilizes a connector board structure designed for installation at a PCI-E slot in an existing computer chassis. Several SATA cables and a fan cable on the connector board can be directly connected to the SATA interface and fan pins on the motherboard inside the chassis. Compared to the USB 2.0 port on the external I / O interface board of a traditional computer chassis, the SATA protocol interface offers faster transmission speeds and will not occupy the external USB interface of the chassis even after prolonged use, allowing users to easily connect external devices such as keyboards and mice.
