Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of solid-state drive mounting bracket technology, and in particular to a flexible, self-adaptive solid-state drive mounting bracket of different sizes. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development and widespread application of solid-state drive (SSD) technology, its physical size specifications are becoming increasingly diverse. From the mainstream M.2 interface SSD to SATA SSDs of different thicknesses, and to innovative forms that may emerge in the future, users often need to install SSDs of various sizes to meet different performance, capacity, or space constraints in practical applications.

[0003] However, most traditional SSD mounting brackets currently in widespread use have a fixed structure design and relatively limited size specifications, often only strictly accommodating SSDs with specific lengths and heights (thicknesses). When users need to install an SSD that does not meet the default specifications in the same system or different devices, they usually have to replace it with a mounting bracket of the corresponding size. This not only significantly increases the user's additional purchase costs and complicates parts management, but also greatly reduces work efficiency during the installation process due to frequent replacements or searching for compatible parts, making it difficult to flexibly and efficiently respond to diverse SSD installation scenarios.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to design and apply a solid-state drive mounting bracket with flexible and adaptive capabilities to fundamentally solve the cost and efficiency problems caused by insufficient size compatibility. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the shortcomings mentioned in the background art, this utility model provides a flexible, adaptive solid-state drive mounting bracket of different sizes.

[0006] Technical Solution: A flexible, self-adaptive solid-state drive mounting bracket of different sizes includes a mounting bracket, a docking bracket, guide rods, a return spring, and a height adjustment assembly. Two mounting brackets are provided, symmetrically arranged vertically. Two docking brackets are also provided, symmetrically arranged vertically. The mounting brackets are located on the left side, and the docking brackets are located on the right side. The mounting brackets and docking brackets close together to form a complete outer frame structure. Multiple guide rods are connected at intervals on the right side wall of the docking bracket. A limiting groove is provided on the mounting bracket corresponding to the position of the guide rod, allowing for sliding engagement with the guide rod. A return spring is sleeved on the outer side of the guide rod. The right end of the return spring is fixed to the end of the guide rod, and the left end is fixed to the inner side wall of the mounting bracket. The mounting bracket and docking bracket are equipped with a height adjustment assembly.

[0007] Furthermore, the mounting bracket and the docking bracket are integrally die-cast from aluminum alloy and the surface is anodized.

[0008] Furthermore, the height adjustment assembly includes a connecting plate, a telescopic component, and a return spring. Connecting plates are installed on the outer sides of both the mounting bracket and the docking bracket. Telescopic components are connected between the two connecting plates on the left side and between the two connecting plates on the right side. A return spring is sleeved on the outer side of the telescopic component, and the upper and lower ends of the return spring are fixedly connected to the connecting plates on the corresponding sides, respectively.

[0009] Furthermore, the telescopic components are injection molded from glass fiber reinforced nylon and have metal guide bushings embedded inside.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a buffer pad, and the inner sides of both the mounting bracket and the docking bracket are provided with mounting grooves, on which the buffer pad is detachably connected.

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes a magnet one and a magnetic block two. Magnet one is installed on the outer side of the buffer pad, and magnetic block two is embedded in the mounting groove at the position corresponding to magnet one. The buffer pad is fixed in the mounting groove by the magnetic attraction between magnet one and magnetic block two.

[0012] Beneficial effects: 1. Through the sliding cooperation between the guide rod and the limiting groove, the elastic force of the reset spring, and the synergy of the telescopic component and the return spring in the height adjustment assembly, the spacing can be adaptively adjusted in the left and right and up and down directions to accommodate solid-state drives of different lengths and heights without the need to change the installation structure, which greatly improves the versatility of the mounting bracket.

[0013] 2. The buffer pads inside the mounting bracket and docking bracket can provide elastic cushioning to the sidewalls of the solid-state drive, avoiding damage caused by rigid contact and enhancing the tightness of the installation. The buffer pads are removable through a magnetic adsorption structure, allowing for quick replacement and maintenance by applying force, ensuring protection and ease of operation during long-term use.

[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0020] Example: A flexible, adaptive solid-state drive mounting bracket of different sizes, such as... Figures 1-4 As shown, the assembly includes a mounting bracket 1, a docking bracket 2, guide rods 6, a return spring 7, and a height adjustment component. Two mounting brackets 1 are provided, symmetrically distributed vertically. Two docking brackets 2 are also provided, symmetrically distributed vertically. The mounting bracket 1 is located on the left, and the docking bracket 2 is located on the right. The mounting bracket 1 and docking bracket 2, when closed, form a complete outer frame structure for accommodating and installing the solid-state drive. The mounting bracket 1 and docking bracket 2 are integrally die-cast from aluminum alloy, significantly reducing overall weight while ensuring structural strength. The surfaces are anodized to improve wear resistance and corrosion resistance, extending service life. Three guide rods are spaced apart on the right side wall of the docking bracket 2. The mounting bracket 1 has a limiting groove 101 at the position corresponding to the guide rod 6, which slides with the guide rod 6, allowing the docking bracket 2 to slide relative to the mounting bracket 1 through the guide rod 6. A return spring 7 is sleeved on the outside of the guide rod 6. The right end of the return spring 7 is fixed to the end of the guide rod 6, and the left end is fixed to the inner side wall of the mounting bracket 1. During operation, the mounting bracket 1 and the docking bracket 2 can be moved relative to each other along the guide direction by external force, and the distance between them can be adjusted. After the external force is removed, the return spring 7 can drive them to automatically reset. The mounting bracket 1 and the docking bracket 2 are equipped with height adjustment components to realize the adjustment of the distance between the upper and lower parts of the mounting bracket 1 and the docking bracket 2.

[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, the height adjustment assembly includes a connecting plate 3, a telescopic component 4, and a return spring 5. Connecting plates 3 are installed on the outer sides of both the mounting bracket 1 and the docking bracket 2. Telescopic components 4 are connected between the two connecting plates 3 on the left and between the two connecting plates 3 on the right. The telescopic mating surfaces of the telescopic components 4 are coated with a damping layer to improve resistance and structural stability during telescopic movement. The telescopic components 4 are injection molded from glass fiber reinforced nylon and have embedded metal guide bushings. While ensuring rigidity and dimensional stability, glass fiber nylon is more than 40% lighter than metal. The metal bushings reduce wear on the plastic friction surfaces and prevent damping failure due to deformation after long-term use. A return spring 5 is fitted on the outer side of the telescopic components 4. The upper and lower ends of the return spring 5 are fixed to the corresponding connecting plates 3. Since the two sets of mounting brackets 1 and docking brackets 2 are arranged vertically, when the mounting brackets 1 and docking brackets 2 are pulled vertically, the telescopic component 4 will extend and the return spring 5 will be stretched, thereby adjusting the vertical distance between the mounting brackets 1 and docking brackets 2 to accommodate solid-state drives of different heights.

[0022] When installing solid-state drives (SSDs) of different sizes using this device, firstly, if the left-right spacing needs to be adjusted to match the length of the SSD, the mounting bracket 1 and the docking bracket 2 can be pulled outwards. At this time, the guide rod 6 slides along the limiting groove 101 on the mounting bracket 1, and the return spring 7 sleeved on the outside of the guide rod 6 is stretched. After adjusting to the spacing that matches the length of the SSD, the SSD is placed in the frame structure formed by the closed mounting bracket 1 and the docking bracket 2. The return force of the return spring 7 will drive the mounting bracket 1 and the docking bracket 2 to automatically clamp and limit the SSD. If there is a difference in the height of the SSD, the mounting bracket 1 and the docking bracket 2 can be pulled up and down. At this time, the telescopic member 4 connected between the connecting plates 3 will extend accordingly, and the return spring 5 sleeved on the outside of the telescopic member 4 will be stretched. The damping layer of the telescopic member 4 can improve the resistance and structural stability during the adjustment process. After adjusting to the spacing that matches the height of the SSD, the return force of the return spring 5 and the damping layer can maintain the height. In this way, the device can flexibly adapt to solid-state drives of different sizes, meeting the installation needs of various solid-state drive specifications.

[0023] like Figures 2-4 As shown, it also includes a buffer pad 8. The mounting bracket 1 and the docking bracket 2 are both provided with mounting grooves 102 on their inner sides. The buffer pad 8 is detachably connected to the mounting groove 102. When the solid-state drive is installed in the frame structure formed by the mounting bracket 1 and the docking bracket 2, the buffer pad 8 can elastically fit against the left and right side walls of the solid-state drive, which not only provides buffer protection for the drive to avoid damage caused by rigid contact, but also enhances the tightness and stability of the installation structure.

[0024] like Figures 3-4 As shown, it also includes a magnet 9 and a magnetic block 10. Magnets 9 are installed on the outer side of the buffer pad 8. Magnetic blocks 10 are embedded in the mounting groove 102 at the positions corresponding to magnets 9. The buffer pad 8 is fixed in the mounting groove 102 by the magnetic attraction between magnets 9 and magnetic blocks 10. When it is necessary to replace or maintain the buffer pad 8, the buffer pad 8 can be removed from the mounting groove 102 by applying a peeling force greater than the magnetic attraction between the two. The operation is convenient and the reliability of the connection can be guaranteed.
