[0014] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, another technical solution adopted in this application is to provide an electronic device, including the above-mentioned hard disk bracket mounting structure.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this application embodiment are as follows: Unlike existing technologies, this application embodiment provides a hard drive bracket mounting structure and electronic device. The hard drive bracket mounting structure includes a chassis and a hard drive bracket assembly. The chassis is provided with a first snap-fit ​​portion.

[0025] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this specification have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used in this specification is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the scope of this application. The term "and / or" as used in this specification includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0026] Please see Figure 1 The hard drive bracket mounting structure 1000 includes a chassis 1 and a hard drive bracket assembly 2. The hard drive bracket assembly 2 is used to house the hard drive and is detachably mounted on the chassis 1.

[0027] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 The chassis 1 is provided with a first latching part 11. The hard disk bracket assembly 2 includes a hard disk bracket 21, a mounting bracket 22 and an elastic member 23. The hard disk bracket 21 is used to house the hard disk. The mounting bracket 22 is slidably disposed on the mounting surface 211 of the hard disk bracket 21. The mounting bracket 22 is provided with a second latching part 2221. The elastic member 23 is connected to the mounting bracket 22.

[0028] Please see Figures 5 to 7 When the hard drive bracket 21 is inserted into the chassis 1 along the first direction x, the mounting bracket 22 moves along the second direction y, and the elastic element 23 deforms. When the hard drive bracket 21 moves along the first direction x to the preset connection position, the mounting bracket 22 moves in the opposite direction y under the elastic restoring force of the elastic element 23, so that the second locking part 2221 and the first locking part 11 engage, thereby connecting the hard drive bracket 21 and the chassis 1. The first direction x and the second direction y are perpendicular to each other.

[0029] When it is necessary to remove the hard drive bracket 21 from the chassis 1, move the mounting bracket 22 in the opposite direction of the second direction y until the second latching part 2221 and the first latching part 11 are separated, and then move the hard drive bracket 21 in the opposite direction of the first direction x to separate the hard drive bracket 21 from the chassis 1.

[0030] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The mounting bracket 22 includes a motherboard body 221 and a first connecting plate 222. The first connecting plate 222 is disposed on the side of the motherboard body 221 facing the chassis 1 and is perpendicularly connected to the motherboard body 221. The first connecting plate 222 is provided with a second snap-fit ​​portion 2221. The thickness direction z, the first direction x, and the second direction y of the motherboard body 221 are perpendicular to each other.

[0031] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 The second snap-fit ​​portion 2221 is a first connection hole provided on the first connecting plate 222. The first snap-fit ​​portion 11 is a snap hook provided on the chassis 1. The snap hook has an abutment surface 112 on the side facing the chassis 1. The abutment surface 112 is used to abut against the edge of the first connection hole, thereby realizing the snap-fit ​​of the first snap-fit ​​portion 11 and the second snap-fit ​​portion 2221.

[0032] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 A guide ramp 111 is provided on the side of the hook away from the chassis 1, and the guide ramp 111 is inclined towards the chassis 1. When the hard drive bracket 21 is inserted into the chassis 1 along the first direction x, the edge of the first connecting hole of the first connecting plate 222 abuts against the guide ramp 111. The guide ramp 111 provides force to the mounting bracket 22, so that the mounting bracket 22 moves along the second direction y. The guide ramp 111 eliminates the need for the operator to manually push the mounting bracket 22 along the second direction y during the insertion of the hard drive bracket 21 into the chassis 1, improving installation efficiency and user experience.

[0033] In some embodiments, please continue reading Figure 2The contact surface 112 includes a contact area 1121 and a guide area 1122. The contact area 1121 is parallel to the second direction y. One side of the guide area 1122 is connected to the guide slope 111, and the other side of the guide area 1122, away from the guide slope 111, is connected to the contact area 1121. During the connection process between the hard drive bracket 21 and the chassis 1, the edge of the first connecting hole of the first connecting plate 222 passes through the guide slope 111 and the guide area 1122 in sequence before contacting the contact area 1121. The guide area 1122 is inclined in the direction away from the chassis 1, which improves the smoothness of the edge of the first mounting hole of the first connecting plate 222 moving from the guide slope 111 to the contact area 1121, and the smoothness of the edge of the first mounting hole disengaging from the contact area 1121.

[0034] In some embodiments, the connection between the guide area 1122 and the abutment surface 112 is arc-shaped, which reduces the risk of stress concentration caused by a hard collision between the connection between the guide area 1122 and the abutment surface 112 and the edge of the first connection hole.

[0035] In some examples, please refer to Figure 2 The width of the contact surface 112 along the second direction y is 3 mm, the tilt angle of the guide slope 111 toward the chassis 1 is 51.3 degrees, and the tilt angle of the guide area 1122 away from the chassis 1 is 25 degrees.

[0036] It is understood that the first and second latching parts are not limited to the structures described above, and can also be other structures. For example, in some embodiments, the first latching part is a slot provided on the chassis 1, and the second latching part is a protrusion provided on the first connecting plate 222, the protrusion being provided with a guide slope. When the hard drive bracket 21 is inserted into the chassis 1 along the first direction x, the protrusion moves along the second direction y under the action of the guide slope, the elastic member 23 deforms, and when the hard drive bracket 21 moves to the preset connection position, the protrusion is latched into the slot under the elastic restoring force of the elastic member 23, thus realizing the connection between the hard drive bracket 21 and the chassis 1. During disassembly, the protrusion is also moved in the opposite direction y by external force to overcome the elastic force of the elastic member 23, and exits the slot, and then the hard drive bracket 21 is pulled out in the opposite direction of the first direction x.

[0037] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5The mounting surface 211 of the hard drive bracket 21 is provided with a second connecting plate 212. The second connecting plate 212 is located on the side of the first connecting plate 222 facing the chassis 1, and is arranged parallel to the first connecting plate 222. The second connecting plate 212 is provided with a second connecting hole 2121. Along the first direction x, the projection of the second connecting hole 2121 and the first connecting hole at least partially overlaps. The second connecting hole 2121 is used to allow the hook to pass through and engage with the first connecting hole. The second connecting hole 2121 is used to guide and position the hook when the hard drive bracket 21 is inserted into the chassis 1, so as to improve the stability and convenience of the connection between the hard drive bracket 21 and the chassis 1.

[0038] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The mounting surface 211 of the hard drive bracket 21 is provided with a first limiting groove 213 and a second limiting groove 214, and the openings of the first limiting groove 213 and the second limiting groove 214 are arranged opposite to each other along the first direction x. The sides of the motherboard body 221 along the first direction x are respectively provided in the first limiting groove 213 and the second limiting groove 214 to limit the vertical movement of the mounting bracket 22 in the first direction x.

[0039] In some embodiments, along the second direction y, the width of the first limiting groove 213 and the width of the second limiting groove 214 are both smaller than the width of the main body 221. The number of first limiting grooves 213 is one or more, and the number of second limiting grooves 214 is one or more.

[0040] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 The motherboard body 221 has a groove with the groove opening facing the mounting surface 211. The mounting surface 211 of the hard drive bracket 21 has an elastic block 215. One end of the elastic block 215 is fixed to the mounting surface 211, and the other end of the elastic block 215 away from the mounting surface 211 abuts against the bottom of the groove to provide buffering and limiting in the thickness direction z of the motherboard body 221.

[0041] In some embodiments, please refer to 3 and Figure 4 The elastic element 23 extends along the second direction y, and its two ends along the second direction y are connected to the hard disk bracket 21 and the mounting bracket 22 respectively. Thus, the elastic element 23 can provide an elastic force along the second direction y. The direction of the elastic force is the same as the direction in which the mounting bracket 22 is driven to move by the hook, which helps to improve the smoothness and efficiency of the installation of the hard disk bracket 21.

[0042] In some embodiments, the mounting surface 211 of the hard drive bracket 21 is provided with a first hook 216, and the motherboard body 221 is provided with a second hook 2211. Along the second direction y, the openings of the first hook 216 and the second hook 2211 are positioned opposite to each other. The two ends of the elastic element 23 are respectively fitted onto the first hook 216 and the second hook 2211, thereby achieving a convenient connection between the elastic element 23 and the hard drive bracket 21 and the mounting bracket 22. In some examples, the elastic element 23 is a torsion spring, with connecting rings 231 at both ends along the second direction y, and the two connecting rings 231 are respectively fitted onto the first hook 216 and the second hook 2211.

[0043] In some embodiments, the main board body 221 is provided with a first limiting through hole (not shown in the figure), the first limiting through hole is located between the first hook 216 and the second hook 2211, and the elastic member 23 is provided in the first limiting through hole to reduce the risk of the elastic member 23 shifting or colliding with other components during use.

[0044] In some embodiments, the motherboard body 221 is provided with a second limiting through hole 2212, which extends in two directions. The mounting surface 211 of the hard disk bracket 21 is provided with a limiting block 217, which is disposed in the second limiting through hole 2212 and can move along the second limiting through hole 2212 to limit the movement of the mounting bracket 22 in the second direction y.

[0045] In some embodiments, the second connecting plate 212 is provided with a third limiting through hole 2122, which extends along the second direction y. The first connecting plate 222 is provided with a protrusion 2222, which is disposed in the third limiting through hole 2122 and can move along the third limiting through hole 2122, thereby further enhancing the connection stability between the mounting bracket 22 and the hard disk bracket 21.

[0046] In some embodiments, a limiting protrusion 2123 is provided on the side of the second connecting plate 212 opposite to the second direction y, and the projection of the limiting protrusion 2123 at least partially overlaps with the first connecting plate 222 along the second direction y. The limiting protrusion 2123 is used to limit the connection plate.

[0047] In this embodiment, the hard disk bracket mounting structure 1000 includes a chassis 1 and a hard disk bracket assembly 2. The chassis 1 is provided with a first snap-fit ​​portion 11. The hard disk bracket assembly 2 includes a hard disk bracket 21, a mounting bracket 22, and an elastic member 23. The hard disk bracket 21 is used to house a hard disk and is detachably connected to the chassis 1. The mounting bracket 22 is slidably disposed on the mounting surface 211 of the hard disk bracket 21 and is provided with a second snap-fit ​​portion 2221. The elastic member 23 is connected to the mounting bracket 22. When the hard drive bracket 21 is inserted into the chassis 1 along the first direction x, the mounting bracket 22 moves along the second direction y, and the elastic element 23 deforms. When the hard drive bracket 21 moves along the first direction x to the preset connection position, the mounting bracket 22 moves in the opposite direction y under the elastic restoring force of the elastic element 23, so that the second snap-fit ​​part 2221 and the first snap-fit ​​part 11 snap together, thereby connecting the hard drive bracket 21 and the chassis 1, thereby realizing blind installation of the hard drive bracket 21 and improving the installation and maintenance efficiency of the hard drive bracket 21.
