Detailed Implementation

[0021] 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.

[0022] Please see Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution:

[0023] A computer external storage device management device includes a storage cabinet 100, which is equipped with a ventilation mechanism and a storage mechanism. A caster wheel 101 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the storage cabinet 100 to facilitate the convenient movement of the device. A PLC control panel 102 is fixedly installed on one side of the storage cabinet 100.

[0024] In this embodiment, preferably, the ventilation mechanism includes a temperature and humidity sensor 200, an electric exhaust fan 201, and a ventilation chamber 202. The electric exhaust fan 201 is fixedly installed at the top of the storage cabinet 100, and the ventilation chamber 202 is located at the bottom of the storage mechanism. The temperature and humidity sensor 200 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the storage cabinet 100. The PLC control panel 102 is electrically connected to the temperature and humidity sensor 200 and the electric exhaust fan 201. A protective net 203 is fixedly installed on the top of the electric exhaust fan 201. Ventilation windows 204 are opened on both sides of the ventilation chamber 202. A first filter 205 is fixedly fastened inside the ventilation window 204. A partition plate 206 is fixedly installed at the top of the ventilation chamber 202. A second filter 207 is snapped into the partition plate 206. The inner diameter of the mesh of the first filter 205 is larger than the inner diameter of the mesh of the second filter 207. During use, the temperature and humidity are controlled by the temperature and humidity sensor 200. The temperature sensor 200 can monitor the storage conditions inside the storage cabinet 100 in real time. When the temperature and humidity exceed the threshold set by the system, the PLC control panel 102 reads the information and sends a command to start the electric exhaust fan 201. The electric exhaust fan 201 continuously draws the air out of the storage cabinet 100. Since the bottom plate of the drawer box 301 has several ventilation holes and the partition plate 206 has a second filter 207 installed inside, the storage cabinet 100 is connected to the ventilation chamber 202. This further allows external air to continuously enter the storage cabinet 100 from the ventilation chamber 202, forming an air circulation effect and achieving the function of regulating the temperature and humidity inside the storage cabinet 100. Through the setting of the first filter 205 and the second filter 207, external impurities or flying insects are prevented from entering the storage cabinet 100, ensuring the quality of the storage environment of the storage device.

[0025] In this embodiment, preferably, the storage mechanism includes a standard guide rail 300 and a drawer box 301. The drawer box 301 is connected to the standard guide rail 300. The drawer box 301, in conjunction with the standard guide rail 300, allows for easy pulling out of the drawer box 301, facilitating the retrieval and placement of storage devices. The drawer box 301 has a USB flash drive slot 302 and an optical disc slot 303 inside, facilitating the categorized storage of USB flash drives and optical discs. The bottom plate of the drawer box 301 has several ventilation holes. There are three drawer boxes 301, with a vertical spacing between them. The internal structures are all the same. One end of the drawer box 301 is equipped with a hidden pull handle 304. The disc placement slot 303 has a sponge block 400 embedded inside. The sponge block 400 has a disc slot 401 in the middle. The softness and cushioning of the sponge material can prevent the disc from being scratched. The size of the disc slot 401 is based on the outer diameter of a regular disc, so that the disc can be prevented from shaking and shifting after storage, further ensuring the integrity of the disc. An auxiliary removal slot 402 is provided on one side of the disc slot 401 to facilitate the removal of the disc.

[0026] In this embodiment, preferably, the ordinary guide rail 300 includes a fixed rail 403 and a movable rail 404, which are slidably connected. The fixed rail 403 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the storage cabinet 100. Strip-shaped mounting blocks 305 are fixedly provided on both sides of the drawer box 301. The strip-shaped mounting blocks 305 have two mounting holes 306 and are fixedly connected to the movable rail 404.

[0027] In this embodiment, a computer external storage device management device, through the storage mechanism inside the storage cabinet 100, allows USB flash drives and optical discs to be stored in the corresponding USB flash drive slot 302 and optical disc slot 303, respectively, achieving a classified storage effect and facilitating retrieval. The drawer box 301, in conjunction with a standard guide rail 300, enables the drawer box 301 to be pulled out, facilitating the placement and removal of storage devices. The optical disc slot 303 is internally composed of a sponge block 400, an optical disc slot 401, and an auxiliary removal slot 402. The softness and cushioning properties of the sponge material prevent scratches on the optical discs. The size of the optical disc slot 401 is designed according to the outer diameter of a standard optical disc, preventing the optical discs from shifting after storage and further ensuring their integrity. During use, the temperature and humidity sensor 200 monitors the storage conditions inside the storage cabinet 100 in real time. When the temperature and humidity exceed the system-set thresholds, the PLC control panel 102 reads the information and sends a command to start the electric exhaust fan 201. The electric exhaust fan 201 continuously draws air out of the storage cabinet 100. Because the bottom plate of the drawer box 301 has several ventilation holes, and the partition plate 206 has a second filter 207 clipped into it, the storage cabinet 100 is connected to the ventilation chamber 202. This further allows external air to continuously enter the storage cabinet 100 through the ventilation chamber 202, creating an air circulation effect and achieving temperature and humidity regulation inside the storage cabinet 100. When the temperature and humidity values ​​reach the system-set thresholds, the PLC control panel 102 reads the information and sends a command to stop the electric exhaust fan 201. The first filter 205 and the second filter 207 prevent external impurities or flying insects from entering the storage cabinet 100, ensuring the quality of the storage environment.
