Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of computer hardware structure technology, specifically to the installation structure design of computer internal storage devices, and in particular to a mechanical fixing device for tool-free hard drive installation and removal. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, computer hard drives are mainly fixed directly inside the computer case with screws. Installation and removal require the use of tools to repeatedly tighten the screws, which is cumbersome and time-consuming. Furthermore, repeated disassembly and reassembly can cause the threads of the computer case to strip, affecting the structural stability. Utility Model Content

[0003] The main purpose of this invention is to propose a mounting bracket for computer hard drives, aiming to achieve tool-free installation and removal of computer hard drives.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes a mounting bracket for a computer hard drive, comprising:

[0005] The frame is used to secure the computer's hard drive.

[0006] A first and a second locking portion are located on the same side of the frame;

[0007] When the mounting bracket is positioned at the chassis mounting position, the first locking part passes through the first locking slot of the chassis and then moves the mounting bracket in the first direction to lock the first locking part with the chassis. At the same time, the second locking part engages with the second locking slot of the chassis to restrict the reverse movement of the mounting bracket in the first direction, so that the mounting bracket is fixed in the chassis.

[0008] When the second latch is disengaged from the second clip, the mounting bracket can be moved in the opposite direction of the first direction;

[0009] When the mounting bracket is reversed and moved to the first locking position, the mounting bracket can be removed from the chassis.

[0010] Preferably, it also includes an elastic element, one end of which is fixed to the frame and the other end is a free end;

[0011] The second locking part is a protrusion provided on the top wall of the elastic member;

[0012] When force is applied to the free end of the elastic element, the elastic element can be deformed and the second locking part can be driven out of the second locking slot.

[0013] Preferably, the free end of the elastic element is provided with a protrusion.

[0014] Preferably, the elastic element and the frame are integrally formed or are detachable. When they are detachable, the elastic element and the frame are fixed by screws or by a snap-fit ​​structure.

[0015] Preferably, the first locking part includes a vertically extending branch and a hook located at the top of the support arm. The lower end of the branch is connected to the frame. After the mounting frame is translated along the first direction, the chassis is partially located below the lower surface of the hook to prevent the first locking part from disengaging from the first locking slot.

[0016] Preferably, the first locking part includes a plate-shaped member, which has adjacent sides extending downward to form a support part. The bottom of the support part is connected to the frame. After the mounting frame is translated along the first direction, the chassis is partially located below the lower surface of the plate-shaped member to restrict the first locking part from disengaging from the first locking slot.

[0017] Preferably, the frame includes a front side panel, a rear side panel, and an upper side panel connecting the front side panel and the rear side panel;

[0018] The first card portion and the second card portion are disposed on the upper surface of the upper side plate;

[0019] The lower surface of the upper side panel, together with the front side panel and the rear side panel, forms a space for accommodating the computer hard drive.

[0020] The inner walls of the front and rear side panels are provided with positioning portions that protrude into the accommodating space;

[0021] When the computer hard drive is placed into the receiving space, the positioning part engages with the positioning slot on the side of the computer hard drive, thus fixing the computer hard drive in the receiving space.

[0022] Preferably, the front side plate and the rear side plate are respectively provided with a first operating part and a second operating part;

[0023] The first and second operating parts can respectively drive the front and rear side plates to elastically deform outward of the receiving space, so that the positioning part is disengaged from the positioning groove and the hard disk is released from locking.

[0024] Preferably, an arched strip is also provided, and the upper side plate has a through hole, with both ends of the strip fixed to the inner walls of the two sides of the through hole respectively.

[0025] Preferably, the mounting bracket is made of plastic, rubber, or acrylic material.

[0026] This utility model's technical solution achieves tool-free, rapid assembly and disassembly between the mounting bracket and the chassis through the coordinated action of the first and second locking parts on the mounting bracket. During installation, the computer hard drive is first fixed to the mounting bracket, then the mounting bracket is positioned in the chassis's assembly location. After the first locking part passes through the chassis's first latch, the mounting bracket is moved horizontally, locking the first locking part to the chassis. Simultaneously, the second locking part inserts into the chassis's second latch to restrict the first locking part's displacement. For disassembly, the second locking part is first driven out of the second latch, and then the mounting bracket is moved horizontally in the reverse direction. The overall structure is simple and reliable, completely avoiding the cumbersome operation and thread damage risks associated with screw fixing, making it particularly suitable for scenarios requiring frequent hard drive replacement.

[0042] The second locking part 3 is a protrusion provided on the top wall of the elastic member 4;

[0043] When force is applied to the free end of the elastic member 4, the elastic member 4 can be deformed and the second locking part 3 can be driven out of the second locking slot 200.

[0044] Specifically, the free end of the elastic element 4 is provided with a protrusion 41.

[0045] Specifically, the elastic element 4 and the frame 1 are either integrally formed or detachably connected. When they are detachably connected, the elastic element 4 and the frame 1 are fixed by screws or by a snap-fit ​​structure.

[0046] Specifically, in the first embodiment, the first locking part 2 includes a vertically extending support 21 and a hook 22 located at the top of the support arm. The lower end of the support 21 is connected to the frame 1. After the mounting frame is translated along the first direction, the chassis is partially located below the lower surface of the hook 22 to restrict the first locking part 2 from disengaging from the first latch 100.

Figure 2 As shown, the first operating part 15 and the second operating part 16 are slots into which fingers can be inserted. When the hard drive needs to be removed, two fingers are inserted into the two slots respectively, and force is applied to make the front side plate 11 and the rear side plate 12 elastically deform outward of the receiving space, thereby unlocking the hard drive.

[0060] Specifically, an arched strip 17 is also provided, and the upper side plate 13 has a through hole 18. The two ends of the strip 17 are respectively fixed to the inner walls of the two sides of the through hole 18. This provides an anti-deformation effect for the mounting bracket.

[0062] Specifically, the mounting bracket is injection molded as a single piece.

[0063] Specifically, the second card part 3 is provided with a third inclined surface that facilitates the entry of the second card part 3 into the second slot 200.

During installation, the computer hard drive is first fixed to the mounting bracket, then the mounting bracket is positioned in the chassis's assembly location. After the first locking part passes through the chassis's first latch, the mounting bracket is moved horizontally, locking the first locking part to the chassis. Simultaneously, the second locking part inserts into the chassis's second latch to restrict the first locking part's displacement. For disassembly, the second locking part is first driven out of the second latch, and then the mounting bracket is moved horizontally in the reverse direction. The overall structure is simple and reliable, completely avoiding the cumbersome operation and thread damage risks associated with screw fixing, making it particularly suitable for scenarios requiring frequent hard drive replacement.
