Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of portable hard drive technology, specifically a portable hard drive with a screen protection structure. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the digital information age, portable hard drives, as portable data storage devices, are widely used in personal office work, data backup, and multimedia file transfer scenarios due to their large storage capacity and portability. To improve user experience, some portable hard drives have begun to integrate display modules to display information such as storage capacity, transfer speed, and device status in real time, allowing users to intuitively understand the device's operating status.

[0003] However, portable hard drives with integrated display modules face the problem of easily damaged edges and display surfaces during actual use. As portable devices, portable hard drives are often carried in backpacks, handbags, and other similar environments, making them prone to collisions or friction with hard objects such as keys and stationery. The display surface (such as the screen) of the display module is usually made of glass or plastic, and its edges are more susceptible to scratches, cracks, or even breakage due to concentrated stress, affecting display function and the lifespan of the device.

[0004] To protect the display module, existing technologies often employ a protective film bonded to the display surface. However, the adhesion between the protective film and the display surface is limited, especially at the edges where it is prone to lifting, failing to effectively protect the edges of the display module and failing to effectively buffer the impact of external collisions. Some designs use raised bezels on the external hard drive casing to surround the display module, but these bezels are often integrally molded with the casing, made of a rigid material, resulting in limited protection. Furthermore, the raised structure is easily deformed by external pressure, potentially causing secondary damage to the display module. It also makes it difficult to simultaneously protect and display labeling information.

[0005] In addition, as personalized or commercial devices, portable hard drives often need to be labeled with brand logos, model parameters, anti-counterfeiting information, etc. Existing labels are mostly printed or pasted on the surface of the casing, which are easily blurred due to friction and wear, affecting information recognition and product aesthetics.

[0006] Therefore, how to effectively protect the edges and display surface of the portable hard drive display module while ensuring the durability of the identification information and the overall portability and durability of the device has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field.

[0029] 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.

[0030] Please see Figure 1-3In this embodiment of the utility model, a portable hard drive with a screen protection structure provides targeted protection for the edges and surface of the display module 2 by setting a detachable flexible protective component 3 on the main body 1 of the portable hard drive, while also taking into account the setting of identification information, thereby improving the durability and practicality of the device.

[0031] This utility model discloses a portable hard drive with a screen protection structure, comprising a portable hard drive body 1, a display module 2, and a flexible protective component 3. The portable hard drive body 1 includes a shell of a certain thickness, and the surface of the shell has a mounting area 4 for supporting or displaying the display module 2. The display module 2 is installed within the mounting area 4 and is used to display information such as the portable hard drive's transfer speed in real time. The display surface of the display module 2 is flush with the surface of the portable hard drive body 1 to ensure the overall flatness of the portable hard drive and reduce the additional risk of impact from protruding structures.

[0032] A mounting groove 5 is provided around the periphery of the installation area 4, and the flexible protective component 3 is detachably embedded in the mounting groove 5. The mounting groove 5 is formed by the inward indentation of the outer wall of the shell, and the specific dimensions are determined according to the structural design of the flexible protective component 3. The flexible protective component 3 is made of elastic materials, such as silicone or rubber, and has good cushioning performance and wear resistance. The flexible protective component 3 includes a protective part 6 and an extension part 7. The protective part 6 is arranged around the periphery of the display module 2, and its surface is higher than the display surface of the display module 2, forming a frame-type protective structure around the edge of the display surface. When the portable hard drive is subjected to external friction, collision, or pressure, the frame can preferentially contact the external force, and to a certain extent directly block the scratches of hard objects on the edge of the display surface (such as the wear when sharp objects such as keys or pen tips slide along the edge of the display surface), and buffer the impact force from the side or oblique direction (such as the impact when the edge of the device contacts the ground first when the device is dropped), so as to avoid cracks or breakage of the edge of the display surface due to concentrated force, and specifically strengthen the protection of the vulnerable part of the edge of the display module 2. Meanwhile, the height design of the protective part 6 forms a physical barrier above the display surface. When the surface of the portable hard drive comes into contact with a flat surface (such as a desktop or the inner layer of a backpack), it can prevent the display surface from directly rubbing against the flat surface to a certain extent. Combined with the edge protection structure, it achieves dual protection for the edge and surface of the display module 2.

[0033] The extension 7 is integrally formed with the protective part 6 and extends away from the display module 2. The surface of the extension 7 is provided with an identification area 8 for setting identification information, such as brand logo, model parameters, etc. By setting the identification area 8 on the surface of the extension 7, when the identification information wears out due to long-term use or needs to be updated, the identification can be restored or updated by replacing the flexible protective part 3, thereby ensuring that the identification information can be clearly identified for a long time and improving the durability of the identification information.

[0034] To achieve a detachable connection between the flexible protective component 3 and the portable hard drive body 1, the portable hard drive body 1 has a slot 9 corresponding to the mounting groove 5, and the flexible protective component 3 has a pin 10 that matches the slot 9. The pins 10 are preferably located at the four corners of the flexible protective component 3 to ensure connection stability. The fit between the pins 10 and the slot 9 is an interference fit, allowing the flexible protective component 3 to be securely installed on the portable hard drive body 1, while also allowing for easy removal when the flexible protective component 3 needs to be replaced or cleaned. The flexible protective component 3 has a recessed portion corresponding to the pin 10, and the bottom surface of the pin 10 is not higher than the bottom surface of the flexible protective component 3, ensuring that the remaining part of the flexible protective component 3, except for the area where the pin 10 is located, can fit snugly against the bottom of the mounting groove 5, guaranteeing the flatness and stability of the flexible protective component 3 after installation.

[0035] The surface of the flexible protective component 3 is higher than the surface of the portable hard drive body 1, further enhancing the protection of the display module 2 and the portable hard drive body 1 and reducing the impact of external bumps on the device. The surface of the protective part 6 is higher than the surface of the extension part 7, forming a stepped structure. This stepped structure allows the protective part 6 to more concentratedly build protection around the display surface, using the height difference to form targeted protection and improve the protective effectiveness of the display surface. The extension part 7 is relatively low, which can reasonably control the overall size and shape of the protective component while meeting the requirements for labeling. The joint between the two is rounded to avoid sharp edges scratching the user and also makes the appearance of the protective component smoother.

[0036] In summary, this utility model effectively protects the edges and surface of the display module 2 through the frame-type protective part 6 of the flexible protective part 3; the marking area 8 is set with the extension part 7, and the marking can be easily replaced when the marking is worn or needs to be updated, ensuring that the marking information is clear for a long time; at the same time, the detachable design also improves the overall maintenance convenience, taking into account the protective effect, practicality and durability, and effectively improving the user experience of the portable hard drive.

[0037] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention.
